This week we talk to Jen Widerberg, also known as Financial Services Tech Recruiter.
Jen has been in recruiting for over 15 years, and she's also a friend of mine who talks candidly about how teachers should approach a transition out of education.
In this episode, we cover:
- The difference between internal recruiters and agency recruiters
- Roles that are great for teachers looking to pivot
- What Learning & Development roles entail
- Imposter syndrome and how to reframe your thinking
- Translating teaching experience for job applications
- How to use prompts with ChatGPT to frame relevant information in your resume
- How transitioning teachers can use LinkedIn
- Personal branding
- Leveraging your unique skills to stand out on the job market
- How to reach out to recruiters
- How to choose the next organization you work for
- How to answer the question, "So why do you want to leave teaching?"
You can find Jen on LinkedIn and X where she talks all things tech talent, AI, and marathon running.
