The Job Boards I Would Use If I Started My Career Change Today

If I started my career change right this minute, I'd search five places. That's it. If I had to search more than five places a week, I'd stop searching. It's late October. Your job search is happening in whatever's left of your evening after grading. A long list of boards eats that whole evening...

Your Resume Still Looks Too Much Like a School Document

Here's one educator's resume. Look familiar? 😬 Nine bullets. Two start with "Responsible for." The last one says "Other duties as assigned." I've read 500 educator resumes since spring. Most of them look like this. Here's what a recruiter learns from it: this person teaches 7th grade science. T...

The Salary Decision You Need to Make Before You Apply

Before you apply anywhere, I want you to have one number written down. Your "walk-away number." The lowest salary that keeps your life where it is today. Most educators skip this step. Then the first salary number in their search comes from the company. It shows up as a required box on the appli...

Customer Success or Implementation? Here's How to Choose

Where I Would Look for Jobs This Fall

Every September I get the same question. If YOU were job searching right now, where would you look? Fair. So I went and got the answer. Over the last two weeks I went through 2,265 current job postings. I was hunting for the areas I'd actually tell a friend to search this fall. Openings that exi...

The 10-Minute Resume Test: Can I Tell What You Were Responsible For?

Okay. Pull up your resume. I want you to look at it with me for 10 minutes. If you rewrote a bullet after my LinkedIn post Tuesday night, keep that one open. It gets tested today.

7 Corporate Roles You Might Be Scrolling Right Past

Let me save you a whole lot of scrolling. Some corporate job titles sound like they were assembled by pulling words out of a hat. Then you open the posting and think, “Wait. I know this work.” In my last JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! source set, I sorted 1,467 listings. Across my last two weeks of reading p...

Before You Learn AI, Learn the Job

You have no idea. I mean that literally. You have no idea what the job you’re applying for actually exists to accomplish. And I think that is making your career change much harder than it needs to be. (Okay... maybe not you personally, but a ton of career changers, for sure.) I spend a LOT of ti...

"I'm a teacher. What else can I do?" Stop asking AI this.

Okay. Be honest with me. At some point you typed this into ChatGPT: "I'm a teacher. What else can I do?" And it gave you a list. Instructional designer. Corporate trainer. Project coordinator. Customer success. You felt excited...for about ten minutes. Then it hit you. That same list would come ...
