Webinar Highlight: Perfecting Your Application

One of the difficult tasks in the application process is the CV and Cover Letter. As there is no set format for either document, it can be hard to get started and tailor them to each individual school. Recruitment expert Kelly Duthie shares her thought at the start of this episode.

Areas covered in this episode:

- Common mistakes

- The differences between a CV and Cover Letter

- What font, size, length and format should be used

- What to include and what to leave out

- What schools are really looking for

This episode is a recording of a live webinar in January 2021. The webinar series was part of Tradewind Australia’s ongoing professional support for CRTs.

The webinars were presented by Ian McNally with former Principals Terry Twomey and Billy Green.

Occasionally as a CRT you will come across a situation in a school that is not ideal. As a professional you will feel it is your responsibility to inform someone at the school, quite possibly someone in leadership, about this matter. How do you go about giving this feedback accurately and constructively? Who should you speak to and when? How do you frame the conversation so it is perceived as helpful and not critical? This week the panel looks at this tricky topic with the aim of giving you the skills and confidence to address these matters.

Dealing with critical incidents and emergencies for any teacher can be demanding, confronting and highly stressful. For relief teachers in unfamiliar schools with students they do not know well, these situations can be extremely challenging.

This week the panel look at emergency management in schools and in particular, the health matters of anaphylaxis and asthma. What are your responsibilities as a relief teacher in dealing with emergencies and how do you ensure your training is up to date? Join the panel for a compelling discussion on emergencies and how you can best manage these serious student wellbeing matters.
