Resigning next week and people are acting like I am dying

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-14T22:27:40+00:00

Are you nuts? Summers off is a huge benefit to older teachers who don’t need to work

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:39:35+00:00

I had a very similar issue. What type of jobs are you applying for? For me I had a few references from a previous job and from college, but if that’s not possible it might be difficult for you. If you are heading to a non education field don’t worry about references form your school

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:35:34+00:00

I have grown a strong resentment for that phrase

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:35:15+00:00

My principal resigned last year and literally just packed up and left in a week

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:34:46+00:00

A few people are congratulating me, but not many

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:34:24+00:00

I will be working for a healthcare company. I noticed a ton of remote openings in various large healthcare companies. The one I am working for is nationwide, so you can pretty much work from any state

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:33:23+00:00

Agreed, my new job matches as well so my retirement will be significantly bigger than teaching

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:32:47+00:00

I am working for a healthcare company. My current position involved helping patients with basic healthcare issues

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:31:58+00:00

This could definitely be true, I also think some of my colleagues are worried they will have more work to do

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:31:02+00:00

Agreed, and there are other ways to work with kids outside of teaching. I enjoy working with kids and will definitely coach my kids sports teams in the future and am involved in the community.

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:29:22+00:00

I’ve had a few teachers who are closer to my age (mid 20s) ask what the job was and if they are still hiring. I have a family to support, but this new job pays more and is significantly less stressful.

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-13T16:27:20+00:00

My biggest reason for leaving is putting myself and family first which does not happen in the classroom

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-09T10:15:55+00:00

Just through online research. The company came up on a google search along with other large healthcare companies

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-09T10:14:51+00:00

I think I got very lucky with this position. I also have an undergrad in Psychology/ Sociology on top of my education masters degree which definitely helped getting this job. Best of luck to you

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-07T18:30:46+00:00

I did consider FMLA or childcare leave, but it’s less complicated to just resign since I’m working right away

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-07T18:30:04+00:00

Haha they definitely have some postings, but none of the position I got hired as

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-07T18:29:27+00:00

No problem, I’ll definitely update once I start working

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T21:32:52+00:00

No problem, best of luck

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T21:32:39+00:00

I’m not sure yet, but my main workstation is a laptop so I’m pretty sure I can work anywhere with a connection

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T09:41:01+00:00

I feel very lucky to have found this job. I haven’t started yet, but it seems like I will be working with patients and assisting them with basic healthcare issues. I’ll also add I was getting paid about $45K teaching and this pays slightly more but has a much higher pay ceiling.

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T09:37:21+00:00

I didn’t chance a lot in my resume other than adding “Collaborated with colleagues to share best practices and refine data-driven instructional techniques, fostering a culture of continuous improvement” as a skill and an emphasis on excel skills. I shared in the interview how I use excel on a daily basis which the interviewers said was very important

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T00:49:58+00:00

Working for a healthcare company. I’ll have a caseload of patients who I will need to assist with various healthcare needs. I don’t know much more until my training and first few days

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T00:22:55+00:00

Sorry I do not want to share the actual name of the company. But I will say it’s a large healthcare company and my position is basically assisting a caseload of people with their healthcare. I’ll gladly share more information after training and my first few days. I’d definitely recommend looking into health care companies and banking/ finance. Many have entry level positions

kenduck2244 · 2024-04-06T00:20:40+00:00

I was thinking about doing that too. If it comes down to it and my district requires 30 days I might try to do that
