I’m breaking down one of the biggest questions teachers ask when they’re ready to leave the classroom — “Should I hire a resume writer, work with a career coach, or just figure it out myself?”

If you’ve been stuck updating your resume for weeks, scrolling job boards at midnight, or wondering what’s actually worth investing in — this episode is for you. I walk you through the real difference between DIY, resume writers, and career coaches, and how to know which one fits your stage of transition.

You’ll learn how to:

• Define what you actually want in your next role (before you waste time applying to everything)
• Understand the job market and why EdTech and corporate roles are ideal for former educators
• Master the mindset needed to make a real career pivot — not just another job search
• Spot the difference between polished documents and a real job strategy
• Decide when it’s time to stop guessing and start getting professional guidance

Plus, I share what’s worked for me and my clients — including how investing strategically in your career transition can literally be the move that gets you paid more, faster.

This isn’t just about resumes or coaching — it’s about building a plan that gets you interviews, confidence, and clarity.
