Share Your Story or Ask a Question


I'm looking to launch two new blog features, and I need your help:

1) Success Stories: If you've left teaching, or are very close to leaving and have had success in your job search, I'd love to hear from you. Any advice or tips that I could pass on to my readers would be really helpful. I want to offer as much information as possible, but since I went from teaching to freelancing most of what I know is from reading and talking to people, and not real experience.

How much information you share is up to you. Pseudonyms are fine; I'm mainly interested in what you learned and how you found your new job.

2) Ask a Former Teacher: If you have a question about pursuing a new career outside of teaching, please ask me! I have learned quite a lot, and if I don't have an answer I will talk to people and do some research. Again, I don't need your real name, but background information about what you teach, your education and interests, and your ideas about what you'd like to do will help. I can also answer more general questions about résumés and job hunting.

I look forward to hearing from you! Please send any stories and/or questions to formerteachers@gmail.com.
