Alternate Résumé
View a résumé preferred by some human resources directors because its folded format allows them to place all of the candidate’s related paperwork and correspondence with the résumé.

This résumé is divided into four panels, printed on 11" × 17" paper, and folded in half for a finished size of 8-1/2" × 11". The front panel serves as a cover that displays the candidate’s name. You may want to include a photograph and quotation depicting your educational philosophy. How creative you make the cover may depend on the type of teaching position for which you apply.
