Here in Germany, 99 percent of HR people have strong prejudices against teachers and former teachers - like me. So I removed the years I worked as a teacher from my CV... I studied math, and as long as I used my truthful CV, nobody believed that I could count to more than three. With the embellished CV, it was suddenly no problem anymore getting an excellent job.
@@t.terrell7037 The HR managers didn't ask about gaps. But I noticed several times that my teaching experience was considered an obstacle to being hired. That's why I embellished my CV.
I was a Recruiter / Employee Relations Processor and HR Assistant after teaching for 6 years. Now I am back to teaching for 6 years but might change career after a few years from now. School Counselor is possible after taking a Masters in Guidance and Counseling
You don't need a masters degree to switch careers or to even make 6 figure salary. It helps though sometimes! And, you don't have to reveal that you have a masters degree in a certain field if you don't want to share. Your counseling and guidance experience is invaluable though and I can see it translating back easily into HR roles or Change Management roles.
Hi. I'm a fresh graduate in TESL, but taking the course was not by my own choice. Right now I'm planning to prepare myself to get out of teaching after finishing my contract, let's say in 3 years. So here's my question: Is it risky if I were to part time learning during my teaching career taking Master’s Degree of other field unrelated to Education? I just can't see myself in teaching; I am more to working individually and flexible with a small team. Also, I am more to office works about projects.
I completely understand where you're coming from. It's great that you're already planning ahead for a transition out of teaching! To answer your question, no, it's not necessarily risky, especially since you'll be building skills in a new area. If you know teaching isn’t your long-term path, this is a good time to explore options that align with your interests, like working independently or in project-based office roles. Just make sure to balance your teaching responsibilities with your studies to avoid burnout. Consider looking into degrees or certifications in fields like project management, business, or something tech-related-areas where you can work independently or with small teams and focus on projects. I offer these as well, if interested! :)
I actually found your video because of your comment on another video. Thank you for this. I am trying so hard to get out of the classroom and into a career that I will be more respected in for my skills.
Thank you for your comment. I am so glad you were able to find me here. Feel free to schedule a call with me on byeteaching.com if you have any questions or need help! And rmr NEVER give up!!
I love that for you! It sounds to me that you want a complete break from "Teaching" a I made a vide on the role of a Project Manager - thought you might benefit from it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3AYxzQ_SOZs.htmlsi=gUjm0ns-AqWR4V_o
Business Analyst caught my attention. Yet that seems like a very general title. How does one go about learning more about the requirements and pursuing opportunities?
All seem to be good alternatives. This has given me an opportunity to put these titles in Indeed. Are there certain companies you would suggest we target?
