"I'd been applying to numerous amount of schools but I was struggling to find a place that I would LOVE to work at. I adjusted a lot in my resume and LinkedIn profile, but I was still not getting interviews in prestigious schools. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom because she really knew what she was doing. She helped me by changing up my resume into something that elite schools are actually LOOKING for! She also does a splendid job when it comes to LinkedIn and helps you out with finding the right connections! What I particularly liked about her approach was how it was unorthodox. Her methods stood out and helped me get my dream job! I would absolutely recommend Cheraine to anyone who wants to level up and be in the working environment of their dreams. Thank you so much, Cheraine!"

We help you significantly improve your job search process and land your dream job in a school.
You will need to have degree (of any kind), plus some teaching qualifications. It is recommended that you have at least 2 years of teaching experience also.
There is only a $9/mth upfront investment required to enrol in the Staffroom Mentorship Program, we only get paid the balance of the training fee when you start work. When you start getting paid from your new job we charge 14% of your gross monthly salary for 6 months. Teachers typically see an increase in interviews and job offers, so the program statistically pays for itself.
The Staffroom Mentorship Program is only $9/mth until you’re hired. You only pay Staffroom the balance of your training fee if the program actually works for you, meaning you accept an offer. Once you do start working, then you pay back 14% of your gross monthly salary for 6 months.
Any time we make an offer to a potential teacher, we strongly recommend that they seek outside advice (e.g. from friends and family) before they sign anything. Outside of that, we do our best to hold the utmost transparency for any potential issue. The income share agreement itself is based on a standardised contract common as a financing option in higher education and online educational institutions. We are partnered with Quotanda who manage our ISA's.
Yes! You are free to withdraw from the Staffroom Mentorship Program within the first two weeks of starting, no commitment necessary.
At a minimum, we require a commitment of 8 hours a week dedicated to your job search until you get hired. The most successful teachers ensure they are at least completing a minimum of 15 minutes of networking on a daily basis. On average, our teachers get placed within 4 months, but we will provide you weekly 1:1 support for as long as you need to get hired, as long as you remain committed.
No. However, if you don't succeed in landing a job within 12 months you will be refunded 100% of our upfront fee if you paid for our 1:1 Complete Career Package (conditions apply). If you don't succeed in landing a job within 12 months of completing the Mentorship Program you will be released from the Staffroom Mentorship Program and the Income Share Agreement with $0 penalty (conditions apply). You've got nothing to lose as your success is our success!
"I was recently needing support with writing an effective cover letter and impactful CV. Having been off the market for a long time my skills were outdated and I needed direction. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom because I found her responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. She seemed to be helping others and having great results so I thought I would give her a try too. She helped me by coaching and empowering me to be part of the process of improving my writing skills in line with what today's market are looking for. I would recommend her because she not only made the whole process easy but she helped me to have more confidence in my own abilities and achievements. I now have some new skills which I can use to promote myself on the job market in the future. "
"I was recently having a problem with writing my resume and cover letter. Applying for an educational position after my maternity gap made me feel a bit insecure about how to present myself. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom because I read some of her posts on Facebook and watch some of her tips for job applications and their process. She helped me by providing clear guidance on what information was relevant and necessary on my resume as well as on my cover letter. For me, what was great about her approach, was her resume template (to the point). I would absolutely recommend Cheraine to anyone who is looking for help on the job application process. She focuses on education but I believe her advice would apply to any other industry. Thank you Cheraine!"
"Cheraine's 'Land Your Dream Job' package is a fantastic resource. Although at this stage I am only looking at leadership positions in Australia, the advice in the program was extremely helpful. Some of the information I was on top of, however there was some great new tips and advice to improve my future applications and LinkedIn game. "
"I just wanted to express my gratitude for all your help, and for providing the opportunity to connect schools with excellent educators who unfortunately often get overlooked because of age, nationality and/or ethnic discrimination. Because of your help, I have received over 80 exciting CVs and I am certain we will be offering positions to at least 10 people from all over the world, some of whom applied for teachers but will be receiving offers for Senior Leaders because of their enthusiasm, experience, expertise, and the very obvious guidance they have gotten from you. You truly create value and change lives!"
"I would like to recommend Cheraine to anyone looking for a dream job or looking for great teachers for their schools. When we had couple of urgent openings due to the Coronavirus related travel ban, Staffroom helped us hire great teachers almost immediately. We are still receiving many applications with Cheraine's help. Next time I look for a job or people to hire, I know who I will contact first"
"Cannot wait to land my new job! Cheraine has delivered two fantastic masterclasses on Resume and Cover Letters. Thanks to her guidance, I am excited about crafting my resume and covering letter with confidence to catch my future employers attention. Cheraine Escott at Staffroom #Kudos #ThankYou very much for everything you do."
"I was recently having a problem with improving my CV and making my LinkedIn profile stand out. I chose to work with Cheraine at Staffroom after she invited me to join her Staffroom group. The group was very helpful and inclusive, and the tips that Cheraine offered were on point. Cheraine took her time to speak with me and to understand my strengths. She transformed my CV from a generic document to a much more personal expression of my "self". What I particularly liked about her approach was the attention she gave me as a human rather than as an employee seeking a teaching post. I would absolutely recommend Cheraine to anyone who wants to highlight their skills and experience while still sounding authentic. I feel much more confident in sending my CV out to schools. Thank you so much Cheraine!"
"I just had an amazing interview preparation session with Cheraine. It was great to have the opportunity to think about structuring my answers to create maximum impact. She also empowered me with some wonderful techniques to stay calm and slow down."
"Cheraine is professional in helping educators to build up their careers and to highlight their values. This is often missed by many great educators in the world. I believe that it would be a great experience to continue working with her until I land my dream job!"
"I found Cheraine’s Resume Masterclass to be most informative and well worth attending. Valuable insights into how one’s CV should be structured for maximum impact and how to improve one’s chances of one’s CV actually being seen. Cheraine is warm and engaging and keeps it real. Making my changes and hoping for a higher hit rate! Thank you Cheraine!"
"I was applying for an internal promotion for a position I had previously been rejected. Since my last application, I had completed significant work within the school and now was in a position to better meet the key selection criteria. I sought support from Cheraine to help prepare for my interview. I had been watching Cheraine's clips on LinkedIn and was impressed by her calm manner and practical advice. Cheraine and I had an hour-long interview preparation session. She delivered sound, frank advice while boosting my confidence. The interview went well and I received positive feedback from the Principal. Once again I was not offered the position however the Principal encouraged me to apply for another, arguably larger, role within the school. He stated that my passion shone in the interview and was very keen for me to take on another position within the school. I would recommend Cheraine to anyone looking to advance their career in teaching. Her advice allowed me to voice my skills, tell my stories, and highlight how I can be an asset to a school. I was offered a significant promotion after my coaching session with her. Thank you Cheraine! I am now working in a job that is beyond my initial hopes for myself"
"Cheraine Escott at Staffroom is truly amazing at what she does. I purchased the Resume, LinkedIn and Cover Letter package, and I have never felt so confident going into the recruiting season. Her inquiry into my teaching practice and future goals, coupled with her writing technique yielded a resume that gives a clear view of who I am as an educator. Her guidance has helped me clarify my goals giving me the tools I need to work toward them. I wholeheartedly recommend Cheraine to help anyone with their career needs."
"I had my CV checked by Cheraine. If I could summarise the impact on me, I'd say it was revealing. I thought my CV was clear and informative. Now I see it as a living document that adapts and changes everyday. Cheraine is a knowledgeable and caring person. I'd definitely hire her services again!"
"I recently attended Cheraine's Cover Letter masterclass. This class provided me with direction and confidence in producing a stronger cover letter, and I definitely feel more equipped in sending out my applications. The class format was very casual yet highly informative - very helpful and highly recommended! Thank you, Cheraine!"
"I have recently attended three masterclasses taught by Cheraine. I learned so much about resume writing, cover letter writing, and how to most effectively use LinkedIn. As a new international teacher, these skills will be invaluable during my career. Cheraine is easy to learn from and makes you feel welcome and comfortable working through processes that can be both very personal and tedious. I look forward to working with her again in the future and recommend her unreservedly."
"The class was so eye-opening on things we take for granted yet they make a great difference and the ability to play with words. It was so exciting and eye-opening for me personally. With the vast experience you shared, it clearly showed why I kept getting those "unfortunately you have not been selected for the next round" responses. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it was super helpful!"
"Attending my first Resume Masterclass I was a bit sceptical at the start, but after listening to the professional nature of Cheraine explaining the process in regards to ATS tracking systems, it was made clear why I wasn't getting the interviews I was hoping for. I will be 100% taking the next step in seeking her professional services (the Teacher Resume Package) as I feel with Covid the competitive nature to stand out is more important now than ever before. Thanks for opening my eyes."
"After a CV workshop with Cheraine, I feel 100% more confident about how to write a CV that will get me noticed for the job I’m after. She’s super knowledgable about what is needed and what schools are looking for. I’d really recommend one of her workshops if you’re struggling to get interviews, or if you just need a refresher on what the current trends are regarding selling yourself to potential schools."

What I particularly liked about her approach was her precise and detailed advice as well as her knowledge of the current situation in education recruitment.
