Career resources

Practical guidance, no folklore

Written from what schools on BirrJobs actually do — not recycled listicles.

The school CV that gets read

One page for every five years of experience. Lead with subjects and levels taught, results (pass rates, competitions), and keep the format boring — in a good way.

Interview questions heads actually ask

"Show me how you handle a mixed-ability class." "Walk me through a lesson that failed." Prepare two stories per competency and one question of your own.

What teachers earn — a benchmark

Ranges by city, school type and seniority, updated each term from posted roles. Negotiate with data, not hope.

Moving from classroom to leadership

The real stepping stones: exam officer, year head, HOD. What each role actually does and what schools look for before promoting.
