A teaching assistant résumé example, with the interventions named

One complete teaching assistant résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— group size, sessions a week, months of progress.

Teaching assistants do the most specific work in a school and describe it in the vaguest language on a page. This example is written out in full so you can read the specific version, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Priyanka Hollinsworth-Bemba does not exist, neither school exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

The example, in full

An intervention has three numbers

Group size, frequency and outcome. A daily phonics group of six pupils with reading ages up an average of eleven months. A numeracy intervention for twelve pupils, four sessions a week. Those are complete descriptions of work that most applications reduce to "supported small groups".

Progress in months is the right unit in primary education, and it is the one a head teacher will compare against their own data. It also names no child, which matters on a document that will be read by several people.

Cover and support are separate claims

Six lessons a week as named cover. Four pupils with education, health and care plans supported across twenty-five lessons a week. One is a teaching responsibility and the other is specialist support, and a school hiring a higher level assistant is looking for both.

The training line is the third: three new assistants trained on the reading intervention. A school that has asked somebody to train colleagues has already decided they are good at the job.

What the reading found

The door below hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 109 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with both certificates kept with their years.

No language model is involved. The readers are deterministic, and where they are unsure they ask rather than moving a qualification into a section nobody reads.

What the checker scored it

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, six of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 195 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Six measurable lines out of seven, on a page for a job people assume cannot be measured. Pupils, lessons, sessions and months are all units the evidence rule reads. The ATS checker shows which of your lines it counted on your own page.

What this example leaves off

No pupil names, no photographs from a classroom and no descriptions of any individual child's needs. A head teacher reads a page that describes a child as a safeguarding concern rather than as evidence of experience.

Long training lists are left off too. Three current certificates with their years and a level 3 qualification carry the application; a page of half-day courses reads as padding around a thin core.

What to change for your own

Change the phase and the specialism. Early years, secondary, special schools and one-to-one support all use this shape with different interventions. Then put in your own group sizes, session counts, progress figures and plan numbers.

Keep both certificates current and dated. Keep the club or lunchtime line, because it is evidence of the part of the job nobody is timetabled for. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the teacher example, the librarian example and the research assistant example sit beside this one.
