Have you ever wondered how to translate what you do as a teacher into language that a non-educator employer can understand?

Have you ever felt frustrated after applying for a job and never hearing back much less getting an interview?

Teachers have unique skills that other teachers and people from educational backgrounds understand. But if you are a teacher who is ready to leave the classroom for a career in business or the non-profit sector, you may have trouble translating what you do in the classroom into the language that recruiters and hiring managers can understand.

That's why you need this workshop.

But why should you listen to me?

My name is Kitty Boitnott, and I have been a Heart-Centered Career Transition and Job Search Coach specializing in helping teachers find new careers outside the classroom since 2015.

One of the first misconceptions that teachers have is that hiring managers and recruiters will connect the dots and know what they know and can do without them having to alter their own language.

That is just not the case. Most hiring managers and recruiters only have a vague idea of what teachers do all day, and many of them don't take the time to consider all that a teacher may have to offer in a particular job or career outside of education.

You have to draw them a picture and explain it to them with your resume.

Consider your resume your personal marketing tool. And think of how you need to translate what you do into the language they understand as well as the language that is used in the job description when you are applying for a specific job. That's what this workshop will teach you.
