A good cover letter should be no longer than one page and enthusiastically explain why you want to work in TEFL and why you are qualified to work in TEFL. Your CV/resume should include all relevant experience you have that might pertain to TEFL. This includes any prior teaching positions, foreign language experience or working with children. This does not include your work at the ice cream shop when you were 15. Keep it relevant. It would also be wise to include lessons you've used and books you've completed in your coursework.

Be sure both your CV/resume and cover letter are printed on nice paper and are kept clean and unblemished. Include a nice photograph of yourself, that portrays you as a responsible, enthusiastic person (so no pink hair and low necklines).
