From Classroom to Career: A Teacher’s Journey to Joy
December 14, 2024 by Katie Travis | Leave a Comment

Big news! One of my clients, a former teacher, just received not one but TWO job offers! 🎉 Moments like these fuel my passion for helping educators transition into roles where their skills and talents are fully appreciated—and, yes, compensated!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Katie Travis.

⭐ I specialize in designing professional resumes tailored to all career fields, with a particular focus on helping transitioning professionals. As an 18-year veteran Spanish teacher myself, I know firsthand the unique challenges educators face when considering a career change.

Why Teachers Make Exceptional Candidates

Educators have SO much to offer! Your skills, talent, and work ethic are second to none. Employers are consistently in awe of the transferable skills teachers bring to the table:

• Stellar communication and organizational skills.

• The ability to manage complex tasks under pressure.

• A knack for fostering collaboration and building relationships.

These attributes make teachers invaluable to a wide range of industries. And let’s not forget the perks of transitioning: better work-life balance, competitive compensation, and the joy of discovering a role that aligns with your passions and goals.

The Secret to Getting Interviews

🔑 Your resume is the key.

Your teaching experience is gold—it just needs to be framed in a way that speaks the language of your new field. That’s where I come in.

• 🔠 The wording MATTERS.

• ⚙️ Your resume needs to work at full capacity to showcase your strengths.

I specialize in translating "education lingo" into language that employers outside of education understand and value. From highlighting leadership skills to emphasizing project management experience, I ensure your resume shines and gets noticed.

Why I Love Helping Teachers

Helping teachers find joy again truly fills my cup. I know the highs and lows of education, and I’ve walked in your shoes. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing former educators thrive in new careers where their talents are valued, appreciated, and compensated.

So, if you’re ready to:

• Rediscover your passion.

• Secure a role that values your skills.

• Enjoy a better work-life balance (and a raise!).
