The challenge Teachers face in looking for a career change
Insights and wise words from Graham Wynn of Superior People Recruitment on today's episode of the #getoutofteaching podcast talking about ideal work environments for exiting teachers:
"I think if you find a business that you're passionate about, you can make it work, that's the first thing. The second thing is that their transferable skills are huge: communication, people skills, and the fact that are very organised and have to follow processes. Those are things which lots of businesses do like. So it's about looking at businesses where clearly process is involved .
... they need to aim for that business, probably, I would say somewhere between 20 and 100 people if possible, because that would be not too large for them. But also the right kind of business where there'll be some structure.
But they're also relying more on the type of person they're employing, not necessarily their experience background wise...and we're finding a lot more employees in that size of business look for people rather than experience.
