❤️ Teachers, Are you heading back to the classroom soon but still want to make moves toward your next dream job?
Inside the TT Monthly Membership, our amazing coaches consistently share that NETWORKING is one of the most powerful strategies to use when searching for a new role!
Keep reading to see how you can get started with this strategy...
Networking is about nurturing relationships over time, not just seeking immediate job opportunities.
Connect with a diverse range of people to expand your network and open doors to new possibilities. Here's how:
Connect with current and former colleagues, classmates, and industry professionals.
Engage with people you meet in various settings like the grocery store, coffee shop, or your kids' school.
Join groups and communities on social media and add them to your network.
But how do you keep the conversation going over time?
Here are some strategies Shannon Dame Resare , a certified career coach shares:
⭐️ Occasional and quick check-ins show you value the relationship.
⭐️ Schedule coffee chats to dive deeper into discussions and learn from each other.
⭐️ Engage with their social media posts by leaving thoughtful comments and supporting their content.
Shannon has reminded our teachers that building your network can lead to more than just job referrals.
You may find mentors who can guide your growth and make valuable introductions. Especially in a down economy, connections matter more than ever.
In fact, she shared that around 80% of jobs are filled through connections!
So, let's build meaningful relationships, foster engagement, and unlock new opportunities together.
One of the great features of our monthly membership is that we offer hiring hour calls monthly. This gives members an opportunity to learn from a former teacher and network with them to create lasting connections!
