How can I become a Teacher in an engineering college?

If you want to write a letter to apply for the position of teacher, address it to the college principal. Make sure you will emphasize your teaching skills and work experience. If you include the following four basic components in your job application cover letter the right way, you will be taken seriously by the receiver(s), because it is convenient for the reader to read your letter, and they understand you have given it thought on how to structure it well:

1. In the introduction of the letter, mention the job title and where you found the vacancy. For example, where you find the job application: the name of the newspaper where the advertisement appeared and the date when it was printed.
   
2. The body includes basic and relevant information about yourself. Although you might include this in your CV, it’s still recommended to highlight those skills that are most relevant for the employer.
3. Provide your name, address, and phone number of two people who will recommend you to the potential employer (references). It is best if one of these is a personal referee and one is a work referee.
