From Burnout to Breakthrough: A Special Education Teacher’s Career Pivot

May 19, 2025 by Katie Travis |Leave a Comment

“I got 10+ interviews in 2 weeks!”

Those were the exact words from a former Special Education teacher of 8 years who made a successful career pivot—and fast.

The Breaking Point

After nearly a decade in education, she was tired. She was burned out. Like so many others, she knew she needed a change but didn’t know where to start.

Her turning point?
👉 One Career Coaching Session
👉 One professional resume

That was it.

The Transformation

She landed 10+ interviews within two weeks.

“That resume was everything. I owe everything to that resume!”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. So many teachers feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure how to communicate their value outside of the classroom.

But here’s the truth:
🎯 It’s all in your transferable skills.

The Takeaway

You don’t have to stay in a job that drains you. With the right tools—coaching, a strong resume, and a clear strategy—you can pivot, too.
