QUIT TEACHING - NOW WHAT? Write a NEW RESUME - 15 SKILLS You Have for ANY CAREER | & Interview Tips

[@byeteaching]

Teachers have SO MANY SKILLS that they don't realize. It is all a matter of how they market themselves

[@jacquelineramirez8322]

I'm in shock. I'm not kidding when I say that I was lost and not sure where to begin. You gave me more than just the tools to be successful with my resume. I can't wait to get started! THANK YOU!

I’ve never seen a 16 minute mic drop before. This is genius! I am a middle school sped teacher and I love this! You are amazing at telling us how amazing we are. Mind blown! Outlook changed!

[@charissem9106]

Great video! You have shedded so much light on our qualifications and abilities as teachers. Often times, you are told that you don't qualify for said positions because you don't have experience, however most people do not realize how much we do as educators! I am definitely going to utilize the skills you have shared in this video on my resume to prepare myself for a new career field. Super helpful!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Charisse! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it. You worded it perfectly. I had the same thoughts in regards to "not having experience", but soon I realized we teachers have AMPLE experience in regards to the skills that any employer would want in their employees! Who wouldn't want a proactive, disciplined, organized, etc., etc. person working for their company! We even have the desire to learn and adapt! It makes me heart soo happy to know that you feel confident moving forward writing a resume for your next career field!! Best of luck, Charisse! You've got this!

[@charissem9106]

@@_shae_taylor_ well said!! I agree 1000%. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and encouraging teachers to feel confident enough to move in other directions. Great tips!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I just resigned from being a middle school art teacher for over 14 years at the same school. The only other jobs I have had were very short - just a couple of months. I was a furniture salesperson for about 2 months and worked at a temp agency for yhe summer (maainly data entry and other administrative assistant tasks) The other job I had was for 3 summers in a row. I worked at a theme park. The first year I worked the rides. The second and third year I worked in the main office doing administrative assistant work - including data entry, answering phones, memorizing radio codes and Maki n g radio calls out to the different ride managers. But again - it was just over 3 seperate summers and it was over 15 years ago. One more thing I did before I got my teaching license was open up a gift shop and sell my own artwork and all that comes with running a business (and BTW I am not a good business owner - luckily my husband is). We did that for about a year and then we had to close the shop because my husband got a different job so we had to move. Again- that was over 15 years ago. Also, I do not want to go back to education and I really don't have many other skills other than teaching. I am very skilled at all types of creating and making art, but I am feom ND and you just cant money as an artist. The whole "starving artist" thing is very real 🙂 I am not good at much else because all I know is teaching and art. And I don't say that out of sadness or frustration, but out of understanding and knowing myself. I am leaving towards secretarial work. I am NOT looking for a job with the ae amount of pressure and stress that goes along with being an educator. I am sure you understand that feeling! I am very sorry for this long, rambling post- I thought it couldn't hurt to reach out since you were so kind and giving in sharing all of this important info with the rest of us. I have been trying to write a resume for a week now and you helped out a lot. I tend to really over think things. . . Obviously😩 So if you have any additional thoughts, tips, suggestions I am more than happy to accept them. Many blessings to you. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for making our skills so clear and how to 'unteacher' them!

[@TheMgilbertsen]

What a doll you are for sharing this excellent skill list and even your resume! Thanks for taking the time. It is a hard transition and it's comforting to see how others are navigating this change...uh, opportunity! (I know, I know, attitude is everything!)

[@TheEdMab]

Thank you, this video is great. I am leaving teaching in 2 weeks. I'm so excited !😁

[@_shae_taylor_]

I am so, so happy for you!! Thank you for your kind words and support by the way

[@TheEdMab]

@@_shae_taylor_ I've been so great ! I sleep well , I exercise more and I started a masters 😄

[@alexandras5192]

Thank you for pointing out how amazing us Teachers are! This is exactly what I needed as I navigate my transition out and job applications.

[@nesiemack5919]

Awesome video, Shae! Congrats on your new career! I'm a retired educator and enjoying my freedom.

[@brendaadams6824]

Thank you so much for the great ideas on how our skills can transfer into private sector careers! Loved your video!!

[@choicelyon2131]

Thank you for this great video with examples! I am updating my resume now to leave teaching, and you gave me some great ideas :)

[@_shae_taylor_]

I am so happy for you and this next step you have decided to take! I am also glad that my resume was able to help you! You have a beautiful and bright future ahead!! :)

[@aliciadonnelly8808]

Hey Shae, I really appreciate this video. You did a wonderful job of highlighting and breaking it down to us teachers (a group of people that are notoriously not used to being acknowledged) and all the hard work that we do day in and day out! Thank you for helping all of us with this career transition.

[@Saratour20]

Oh my goodness! Thank you for making this video. It was sooo helpful!!

[@LittleClovis]

I want to thank you for providing this video. I am an ESL Teacher abroad and have actually grown a decent business and built a small academy. However, im done. DONE! done. Im ready to go home. I will literally be moving myself and children halfway around the world back to my hometown. I do not want to go back to teaching. I am desperately trying to figure out a way to rebrand myself and move into a new market. Your resume helps tremendously. Keywords to get my resume seen by an actual human has been a daunting task ive been procrastinating. Youve given me something to go off of. Thank you . I know if i can get into the interview chair, i can charm them (if i can do it with moody kids...real non hormonal rational ppl....i can charm anyone....haha) Im done. I want out. But i need someplace to go before i leave my job.

[@kamaraalya7607]

Where did you teach abroad?

[@LittleClovis]

@@kamaraalya7607 I'm still teaching in South Korea

[@pierangelielswick2569]

Wonderful video! So well thought out about our skills, abilities and qualifications!!! Many times we don't give ourselves enough credit! We are very talented as a whole!!! :)

[@familyroo245]

THANK YOU!!!!! This video is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated Shae

[@MissPrissJewels]

Thanks for sharing your resume, so many people are trying to charge insane amounts for this service for teachers. One company quoted me $150 and tried to sell me a whole program. All I needed was resume tips. Thanks again

[@allievanstone2756]

THIS!! I had somebody reach out to me on LinkedIn offering to "fix up" my resume. They tried to charge me $350!!!! They reached out to me!! THis video summed it all up, love it so much

[@asdfghjkl4568]

Thank you for this!!!

[@_shae_taylor_]

Thank YOU for you supportive words and the time you took to watch my experience!

[@mlmj1994]

Thank the sentence stems!

[@amberlorenzini3924]

Hi Shae, I'd love to revise your resume. I see several formatting errors and can improve some of your word choices esp. in the summary. Overall, quite wordy. The transitional skills ideas are great! Good work!

[@lisisalvarez]

I don't see the list she noted in the video would be in the comments. Would someone please share them with me? Thanks! And @Shae Taylor, if you read this, THANK YOU so much for validating us and making us more confident by knowing our worth.

[@UrsiesWhirl]

[@95RangerGirl]
