Hi, I am trained in Malaysia and have 11 years teaching at the polytechnic (equivalent to Tafe/vocational here). This includes 3 years of university tutoring experience. I have tried to apply for teaching jobs but have been unsuccessful so far. The formalities (VIT registration and other paperwork) have been completed but I have not even been called for an interview although I have sent multiple resumes out via the website for Victorian government schools. I have even emailed the principals directly- but so far it has been thanks but no thanks.
1. Would it be appropriate to make an appointment with the admin / headmaster of the school and deliver the cover letter and resume personally?
2. Any suggested websites to apply for jobs (even CRT is fine for a start).
3. If anyone could post an example cover letter / resume, it would be great.
Any other advice / suggestions to get started in a teaching career here would be great.
