Send us your highly customized 2-3 page  CV (longer CVs will be rejected since they do not reflect the ability to communicate with brief focused clear sentences)  CV in Word (so NO PDF files please)  to CV @ HIREgh . com (remove empty spaces) with the appropriate heading: ‘Lower School Teacher – Eastern Region’  in your email’s subject/ Title line.

  6. Also, please indicate when is the earlier that you can start
  7. Give us an indication of your current salary package
  8. Once again: DO NOT SEND a CV that is 3+ pages long. Do NOT send  a CV in PDF format or as GoogleDoc –our ATS is set to ignore CVs longer than 3 pages
  9. Please: No Google Docs either – we do not have permission to open them and getting one from you is too complex
