Before being interviewed in Spain for a position in Aurora, I was used to the Spanish model and format of resumes. The first difference I noticed is that resumes in the US are shorter and go to the point in order to fill one page only. In Spain, on the other hand, we explain each item in a paragraph form. For this reason, I found challenging to write short and simple sentences using actions verbs to describe each element and, at the same time avoiding long paragraphs. A second difference was that I didn't have to include elements older than ten years, which made difficult for me to show my education and work experience. As I have a large record of education and work experience, I had to learn how to create a resume that fits the needs of recruiters for teaching positions, which is the field I want to apply to. Finally, in Spain, activities are less important than here because athletic and club programs in school and college are not as extended as in the US, so it is not mandatory to dedicate a section for this purpose.
