Building the right portfolio is one of the main ingredients for a successful job placement. This is especially important in the profession of "educator". Children will never be given into the hands of illiterate, unkind, fixated on their problems nannies.
Instructions
Step 1
The most important thing in the educator's portfolio is positive feedback from past jobs. All recommendations should be provided with contact numbers of previous employers. This will allow you to validate the data from the portfolio if necessary.
Step 2
Diploma of graduation from the institute. Very often employers need educators with a higher education. It can be both pedagogical and psychological, focused on child and developmental psychology. It is better to attach a copy of the document to the portfolio, and present the original if asked.
Step 3
A certificate or certificate issued in foreign language courses. If you have one, great, you can attach a copy to your portfolio. If you do not have a document, but you have learned a foreign language perfectly, be ready for an interview exam. Most likely, the employer will ask you to tell something in a foreign dialect. This will show the level of knowledge of the language and the correct pronunciation of sounds.
Step 4
Medical certificate. When applying to government agencies, it is required. Private employers are also likely to ask for proof of health.
Step 5
Documents containing information about children - passport or birth certificate. Very often employers are looking for a caregiver who already has children of their own. Photocopies of these papers will not be superfluous in your portfolio.
Step 6
Additional information - certificates from advanced training courses, a document on music education, photographs with pupils. All of this should definitely be added to your portfolio. This will allow the employer to create a three-dimensional picture of the teacher's personality.
Step 7
Attach all materials first in separate files. Then put them in a nice tough folder. It will be more convenient for the employer to hold the assembled documents in his hands than a scattering of separate sheets.
