How do I make a resume for a CBSE Head of School job?

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.
How do I write an application email for this Head of School role?
Use a clear subject line with role and your name, open with which vacancy you're applying to, then a 4-5 line summary of qualifications, teaching experience and notice period. Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed.
