Make sure your cover letter is job specific. Don’t be lazy and submit something that is generic. If a job is important to you, take the time to do this part right. Make it clear why you want the job and what experiences you have that make you right for it!
Please also remember that the cover letter you submit is for the potential school you will be employed at NOT Footprints! |

Dear Sir or Madam:
It is with great interest that I am applying for the position of an E.S.L.
teacher at your school. After researching a number of opportunities, I
have decided that teaching E.S.L. overseas is definitely the right decision
for me. I feel that not only will teaching overseas offer me a chance
to learn about another culture, but it will also allow me to work in a
leadership role while becoming a better educator.
As a university graduate, I have learned the value and rewards of hard
work and dedication. Throughout my university career I strived to do my
best, and I promise to do the same as an E.S.L. teacher at your school.
In addition to the skills I learned while obtaining my Bachelor of Science,
I also learned how to create meaningful lessons and activities while earning
my T.E.S.L. certification, this will assist me greatly if given the chance
to work at your school. Additionally, working as a swim instructor and
babysitter has allowed me to work with children on an ongoing basis and
I have proven to be a person that cares about his charges/students and
their success. Finally, while volunteering as an E.S.L. tutor I have had
the chance to help others improve their English language skills, and this
has been truly rewarding for me and I look forward to continuing on the
tradition at a great school such as yours.
I would be honored to work for your school, and I look forward to hearing
from you. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
me as I would be happy to answer them for you. Thank you in advance for
your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ace McLean
