A strong ClassCover profile is key to booking more work, gaining experience, and advancing your career in education. Your profile should showcase your qualifications, catch the attention of schools, and show them why you are the right person for the job.
To help do this, adding supporting documents like your CV, qualifications and certificates is recommended. Read on to see how easy it is to upload documents to your ClassCover profile.
Why Uploading Documents is Important
Adding relevant documents to your profile, such as your CV and certificates, can significantly enhance your profile by:
Showcasing Your Qualifications: Schools can see your credentials, training, and experience at a glance, which may make you a stronger candidate for job opportunities.
Demonstrating Professionalism: A profile with up-to-date documents reflects your commitment and reliability, building trust with potential employers.
Keeping Schools Informed: Schools need to verify qualifications, like up to date first aid or mandatory training certificates. Having these readily available on your profile makes it easier for schools to book you.
Improving Searchability: Schools may prioritise teachers with specific qualifications. Having your documents on file makes you more searchable within ClassCover, increasing your visibility.
Building a Complete Profile: A profile with thorough documentation looks complete and stands out from those with missing information, making you more attractive to schools.
We asked our school users about teachers uploading documentation to a job post and 77% of schools said they would not consider an applicant who didn’t include a cover letter and resume with their application.
Tip: For the easiest experience, upload documents from a computer rather than a mobile device. The larger screen and file management on computers make it quicker to locate and upload the right files.
