Business: Recruiters/Employers To Employees Network
βI’ve been told by recruiters that teaching doesn’t have transferable skills to other industries.β
ππ§π§ππ‘π§ππ’π‘ employers, recruiters, hiring managers & whoever else needs to hear this:
Classroom Management π People Management
Instructional Design π Training & Development
Lesson Planning π Project Management
More transferable skills:
β’ Active listening
β’ Critical thinking
β’ Complex problem solving
β’ Time management
β’ Negotiation
β’ Budget management
β’ Purchasing & inventory
β’ Expert communication
β’ Coordinating
β’ Managing others
β’ Public speaking
β’ Systems analysis
So, when someone says they are/were a teacher, what they ACTUALLY mean is:
I am a leader in training and development, performance improvement, and project management. As an effective organizational influencer, I have an innate ability to build, motivate, train and develop high-performance teams.
OR
I am an effective communicator who is exceptionally skilled at explaining complex principles and concepts in an easily understandable way. Iβm also a creative problem solver who effectively develops working relationships across teams and is able to quickly adapt to shifting priorities in order to achieve objectives.
A little louder this time, TEACHERS HAVE TRANSFERABLE SKILLS.
