what about an unqualified teacher? I've worked in schools for 8yrs and getting training is now near impossible 😭

I've applied for all of these and nothing...over 700 job applications over the last year resulting in one interview for a job I didn't get. I've rewritten my CV a ridiculous amount of times. Even had one person say to me "You are just a teacher though". Wonderful.

I’ve found that other employers don’t value teacher’s experience at all

I left 2 years ago after teaching for 14 years. Left to become a data analyst! Realised how many transferable skills we have and moved to my dream role of software developer 15 months ago. I was assistant head and never took a pay drop

The problem isn't what jobs teacher can do, but the qualifications that are needed to move into these new fields. How are active tescher supposed to get a career change, if we simply can't find the time to get those qualifications for it?

i don't know about other teachers but I feel like my classes this year are out of control. yes I have the highest score in the district and the only school making the expectation in the district 99% pass rate the rest are between 10-58%but this year I just feel like I have no control the kids of this generation is horrible and I'm struggling I feel like giving up I'm abused as a teacher and just don't care anymore I just feel like the kids are so disrespectful they don't have manners anymore. I am doing everything for them when they do everything to make things harder for me I have kids telling me to quit or shut up but as a South African teacher against the bell act I have no power and the school can't do anything about it.so why am I even trying at this point

I've found another ex teacher on here! I left five years ago and jumped into marketing, comms and social media. I took a sort of paycut, but now on double my teacher salary.

Thanks, interesting stuff. Worried it will be a step backward salary wise.

I really want to move into HR / L&D and I cannot even get a response to applications. The fact most (with a decent salary) request CIPD qualifications is a problem!

I know of a lot of teachers who have gone over to DWP back to work programmes like the Restart scheme to become employment advisors, employment coaches etc.

There's no way you go from UPS3 & 50k a year job into a different field on the same salary without extensive training. I know because this is me!

Transferable skills are acknowledged in theory - and then in reality the role will usually go to someone with relevant sector experience.

But, do I not need some additional qualifications? These job descriptions always have something like L3… required.
