The Challenge We're Solving Today

You’ve made the decision to transition out of the classroom but now you’re wondering, “Where are the real job opportunities for former teachers in 2025?”

Let's Start With Common Solutions and Why They Might Not Work

Some transitioning teachers cast a wide net, applying to every vaguely related education job they find online.

Others aim too narrowly, only looking at online teaching roles.

While both strategies are understandable, they can lead to burnout and disappointment.

Here's why:

• Too broad = wasted energy on jobs that don’t match your skill set or interests

• Too narrow = missing out on roles you’re qualified for but didn’t know existed

• Ignoring company hiring trends = applying to low-demand employers reduces your odds
