1. Tailor your CV to creative arts education: Highlight your subject specialization and any experience designing lessons in art, music, or drama. Use concrete examples like a school play you directed or an art exhibition you organized.
2. Prepare a mini portfolio: Even if not requested, include photos, videos, or samples of student work or your own creative projects. This shows your practical skills and passion.
3. Emphasize your TSC registration: Make your TSC number prominent on your CV and mention it in your cover letter. This is a hard requirement.
