In Person Drop (Resume & Cover Letter)
My name Muhammad Asad and I have master degree in Islamic studies and Arabic. I like teaching as a passion. Teaching is my dream job. I think a teacher is a most important person of a society as he takes responsibility to buildup nation.
I search online some famous education institute in my city by their performance in board exams as well as management. I select Sandal School as I drop my resume and cover letter. I modified my resume and cover letter and search out school website to submit online resume and cover letter. But unfortunately, there is no online submit option. So, I decide to go in-person drop. During online search, I found that there is lack of online working by education institute. There is a large number of schools in city but nothing online working by them.
After that, I contact to my university fellows and others to find out a person who already working in Sandal School but I never found any person. Again I go website and try to find out school history, founder, their background, school management like school Principal, Vice Principal, HR if the school appointed, school culture, school working hours etc. In online history, I just find school history, founder and principal name. So, I realize I have basic knowledge about school.
On next day, I go to school morning 9 o’clock. Firstly, on school gate, I tell gate keeper that I come here to meet school principal. I think he call reception and allow me to go school office and indicate the office building. School building and grounds was neat and clean. there is no noise atmospherics in classes.
When I enter office building, there is a reception. The receptionist asked me why you come here. I tell him that I want to meet school principal and drop my resume in-person. She says that principal is busy in meeting with school management for upcoming midterm exam. So you can give me your resume, I will to give your resume the principal and call you for demo and interview as soon as possible.
In next time, I try to forward my resume and cover letter through email as well as in-person drop. I must be used both options. Secondly, I wait to meet principal as long as it will have happened. Not just drop the resume on reception but try to meet principal, principal, HR.
My advice for those persons who want to apply for a teacher job in any private school, it is compulsory to know the school culture. Because if we got a job but we feel discomfort in school culture, we lose job charm and dis-heart.
