Assistant Principal Resume Sample

Study these resume tips to score your next job.

By Kathleen Walder, Monster Contributor

Your assistant principal resume is a lot like a report card. Teachers summarize a student’s progress with letter grades, but the most helpful reports also include notes that give parents more insight into students’ activity and potential. Now think of your resume. A list of past jobs and degrees you’ve earned are like grades—they give potential employers a very abbreviated look at your career. To give hiring managers a more well-rounded picture of your achievements and potential, your resume needs to include specifics about what you accomplished and where you want to go next.

Your resume’s professional summary is the ideal place to start this conversation. Assess your skills and write about how they match what an employer is looking for. Call out your credentials and achievements, and sum up your goals for the next step in your career. Then, throughout your resume, talk about your success in each job using measurable achievements. For example, instead of saying you spearheaded a program to increase parent volunteerism, add numbers for greater impact, with a statement that you increased parent volunteerism by 25% in nine months.
