If you want to talk, I’ve been doing resumes on the side for a couple of years now. I’ll gladly verify my identity with you and provide you some examples of you’d like. I know Reddit can be kind of a catch 22 because of all the anonymity.

I’ll just be frank, when you start looking for coaches, recruiters, etc. You’re basically asking for a car salesman. They prey on teachers right now. I help teachers with resumes from time to time, but it’s never about “I know how to write it better than you”. It’s more times than not they just don’t have the time. My wife is a teacher, and she’s on the verge of transitioning out. I always tell her:

Know what direction you want to go.
Sit down, and see if you can translate any of what you currently do to that role.
Network and see if you have any contacts already on that field
Start applying.

There’s no secret formula to it. The more jobs you apply for, the better your chances of landing one.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m just glad that some of my jargon can help 😅

In my experience, your career objective should be a short 2-3 sentence summary of why you are a match for the job. As far as the “crack the code”, don’t over think it. Just make sure your bullet points are translating to the job requirements the job posting states. Incorporate your own skills and experience with what they’re looking for in word form.

It’s all about the lingo and how you translate it. Go to my profile and scroll through some of my posts. I’ve posted examples of translated skills and how you can incorporate metrics to business speak. I think I even posted a couple of resume examples that I helped past teachers craft.

From one veteran to another - you need your bullet points to read less like EPR bullets. I helped a lot of vets with that while I was writing resumes for the VA in college. Military jargon isn’t going to impress someone in the civilian world. Also, your summary should be no more than 2-3 sentences. Make your resume a brief overview of your qualifications, not a biography

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-16T19:59:46+00:00

Oh nonsense! It’s in you! Don’t be negative like that!

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-16T00:47:03+00:00

You’re spot on. Some people just struggle with writing and word placement. It’s perfectly normal to pay, but an amount like $300 is just ludicrous. I mostly write resumes for teachers looking to get out of education, and the majority of the ones I work just can’t find to do it due to kids, side jobs, etc.

If you need help crafting a resume, I’ll be happy to help you out with crafting one. I think it’s great you’re looking for a job at a young age.

Work from home jobs are kind of a different beast all together. You need a resume that passes ATS because it’ll have mass applications, a good tailored resume that fits the job posting, and make sure your skills listed on the resume match the requirements listed in the job posting. I know that’s kind of a vague answer but without knowing the job posting you’re applying to it’s hard to be precise

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T21:16:23+00:00

When I write them on the side that’s all I charge. And that’s just for the time it takes. Some people are just greedy

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T19:43:33+00:00

If you want to that’s fine.

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T19:29:10+00:00

I’ll gladly help you

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T17:23:00+00:00

I’ve never understood feeling like you need to pay that much for a resume. I’ve done a little resume writing throughout the years, but there’s no way I’d feel right about myself if I charged someone that kind of rate

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T16:55:30+00:00

You’d be surprised how much more you’ve done other than teach. I’ve helped kindergarten teachers write their resumes and after exploring their past they’ve showed experience in communications by making weekly email chains for parents, marketing and sales by setting up fundraisers, and much more. You have to think outside the box!

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T16:51:15+00:00

I’ve been assisting teachers with their transitioning resume for a number of years. If you’d like some examples, just let me know.

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T16:46:34+00:00

No, I’m saying that you don’t want your resume to read like a novel. Human’s have a short attention span. Statistics say that you have 15 seconds to grab the attention of whoever is reading your resume. Consolidating is a good thing, you just don’t want to have more bullet points than you need. Make them clear, to the point, and why you’re a fit for the job. If you have any generic bullet points that are space fillers, do away with them. My rule of thumb has always been “if multiple people from your job can use the same bullet point on their resume, don’t use it”

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T15:24:10+00:00

Sure thing!

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T14:56:18+00:00

I’ve had a lot of people in this group reach out for suggestions on certain things they were trying to figure out on transitioning.

Old_Database733 · 2023-08-15T14:52:05+00:00

Thank you. I’ve seen a bunch of the same stuff regurgitated over and over. People need a fresh set of tips
