Feeling Confused and Isolated? Break Free With Your Exit Plan.
Since we announced our upcoming course “The Exit Plan”, we have received so many questions from our community.
Many of those questions shared a similar theme – "Mentorship" and how it can help accelerate a job search that is stuck in first gear.
Let’s talk about finding the right mentorship and support to help you transition out of education and find the role you deserve.
The 3 most impactful benefits we’ve discovered from our work with thousands of transitioning educators over the years are:
1/ No endless job applications.
I get it - spending hours perfecting applications and not hearing back is beyond frustrating.
In fact, it’s downright annoying!
Most of our clients came to us thinking that job search was a numbers game – the more resumes they sent out the better chance they had of landing a job.
This simply is not true and is the fastest way to add anxiety to your stress cocktail.
You don't need to spray and pay with your resume.
You need to focus on what you need; what you offer; and who benefits from your abilities.
With a good mentor, you’ll learn how to target your job search more effectively.
You’ll learn to define your Vision & Values.
What you need and what you offer.
You’ll target specific employers of your choice.
You won’t waste time on positions that aren’t a good fit.
You’ll focus on opportunities that truly match your skills and goals and that will lead to more engagement, conversations, interviews, and offers.
2/ No confusing career advice.
When you’re thinking about leaving teaching, the amount of advice out there can be overwhelming.
Should you go back to school?
Start at the bottom in a new field?
Take a pay cut?
Relocate?
It’s tough to know what to do.
Working with a mentor who’s been through this can make all the difference.
They can help you figure out the best path forward that aligns to your needs, giving you clear, practical advice that is easy to execute to generate results in your search.
3/ No isolation in your journey.
Making a career change can feel really lonely.
Without support, it’s easy to doubt yourself.
But you don’t have to do this alone.
By connecting with others who have already transitioned out of education, you’ll find a community that understands what you’re going through.
Finding a mentor who can connect you with these people is a bonus.
This support can make a huge difference in keeping you motivated and on track.
The Truth:
You’ve already shown incredible dedication and resilience in your teaching career.
These same qualities will help you succeed in your new path.
With the right guidance, you can use these strengths to build a fulfilling career outside of the classroom.
It’s worked for others, and it can work for you too.
I’ve worked hand-in-hand with so many educators to successfully make this transition, finding jobs that give them a better work-life balance and more respect.
If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s get started together.
You’ve We’ve got this.
Onward!
