Evaluate options based on reputation, curriculum, and potential for skill enhancement. Explore financial aid opportunities and flexible learning formats to accommodate individual circumstances. Networking with professionals in the field and seeking guidance from career advisors can provide valuable insights and support in decision-making.

I'm assessing my skills for two specific jobs I'm interested in. It is important to retool yourself with the necessary skills to remain relevant and more marketable.

It is always important to research the field and the trends associated with a field when making a job change. Don't just look at the employers, but also study the industry and trends locally, regionally and even nationally. Only then assess your skills vs. standards and choose and a program that is properly accredited. Industry accreditation was created to hold a standard across an industry and employers will know what standard you are already meeting at interview time. Don't assume a degree is what employers are looking for often they want certifications and experience. If you have experience without a certification/degree check prior learning assessment with a school and get your experience transcripted by an educational partner.

From a personal perspective, I would think outside of the career box! Question if you really wish to continue in this field of work. Now is an ideal time to re-evaluate. I switched from Assistant Head Teacher to Permanent Makeup, with no beauty back ground. 5 years in, I own my own High Street Clinic and love the time freedom. Always happy to chat through my journey!

I want to improve my networking by attending industry events and forming real connections with professionals in my field. I would like to also find educational programs that will provide the exposure needed for particular skill requirements.

This is a key component to demonstrate your growth and development. An updated resume will show your commitment and dedication especially when you upskill. It will also give insight into where you're heading.

Being laid off, can become a blessing if you use the opportunity to think outside of the box and evaluate what you want from your working life! What fulfils you? What excites you? Where and for whom do you want to work? I took a massive leap of faith in myself and gave up a good job as an Assistant Head to start a new career that I was in control of! I no longer wanted to work for someone else. I wanted time and financial freedom! It was scary and has taken hard work and determination! But now 5 years in, I’m reaping the benefits! Listen to that inner voice and make a plan.

I would also suggest that you volunteer with a non profit. Giving back time and talent is a benefit while you have extra time to give. There are some great experiences to be had and many would appreciate any expertise that can be provided. It can expand your network and provide an additional support mechanism while also filling your gap.

After Spring Break Many educators reach “hair pulling” stage in a classroom, right after spring break, when students just aren’t interested in hearing the teacher in front of them. Here’s what I did. Plan ahead. Use the time for reinforcement of all concepts taught prior to spring break to get ready for final exams. Prepare a list of assignments that are self-driven with specific due dates. Use the first 10-15 minutes of class time to discuss any areas of confusion and leave the balance of the time for group work or individualized assistance. Make sure students are keeping a log of their progress and report out intermittently. Students get work completed and teachers save their hair. Win-win situation!
