Thank you.

You always give me fabulous advice. I end up going... "oh yeah.. why didn't I see that!?"

I hate trying to sell myself. Am attempting to put it right now.

It is hard - there's a fine line between being confident, and seeming arrogant. But, here are some things that you should avoid in application letters:

+ Don't state the obvious - building positive relationships with pupils/parents will automatically mean a positive atmosphere in school.

+ Don't put "some" anywhere - it sounds weak.

+ Avoid giving long explanations - when you get to interview, you can use the STAR technique - Situation Task Action Result. A canny interviewier will ask you about this based on your application.
