A Teacher's Journey to Human Resources
🙌At the interview, Lauren, a transitioning teacher, was told that they saw her PERSONALITY and SKILL SET and that they could EASILY teach her the things that she didn't know. And she was HIRED!
🪜She successfully transitioned from a Teacher to a Training Coordinator and was promoted to Human Resources Specialist, at a FinTech company - something she knew nothing about, but they saw something special in Lauren!
🤗The pivot in her career transformed her WHOLE LIFE! She GAVE UP 😉
✖️Traveling 45 minutes, each way
✖️Waking up at crazy hours
✖️Working outside of hours
✖️Working 6-7 days a week
✖️No flexibility
She GAINED 🤩
💓Flexibility
💓Being able to drop off and pick up her small children at school
💓No commute
💓Not working outside of hours
💓Home / Work balance - Turns her laptop off at the end of the day
💓Transformed her family life
💓Transformed her mental health
💓Transformed her finances - earning $35,000 more than she did as a teacher (even with a Master's and 10 years of experience)
👂Listen to Lauren talk about how she had applied to over 200 jobs and that just sending applications wasn't working.
🙎♀How you can get stuck in the headspace of, "Poor me, why is this happening to me, I'm a good candidate".
🙌And how with a better resume, cover letter, and interview skills, her skills from being a teacher transitioned perfectly to this role BECAUSE
✅Teachers are a different breed
✅So skilled
✅So good at many different things
✅So organized
🥰Lauren gets to bring the best part of teaching to her corporate role
⭐She transformed the onboarding process that has positively impacted 150 new employees
⭐She Co-hosts all staff meetings (you NEED to hear the compliment they offered her!!!)
⭐LOVES that she gets to use her creativity and ability to build rapport to host multiple company cultural events, even leading the 1st company Oktoberfest
