You\u2019ve been working as a substitute teacher for a while. Now, you\u2019re ready to start applying for jobs as a full-time teacher. While working on your application materials, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s important to include substitute teaching experience on the resume that you send out.

For the end date, you should write the last day that you worked as a substitute teacher. If you\u2019re still working as a substitute teacher, write \u201cPresent\u201d<\/a> instead of a date.<\/p>\n

Duties<\/h2>\n
