With my teaching experience, I can transition into instructional design, curriculum development, or educational consulting. My skills in communication, organization & problem-solving are transferable to corporate training, e-learning development, or educational technology roles. Additionally, I can leverage my expertise to pursue roles in content creation, writing, or public speaking on education-related topics

2 Explore your options

The next step is to research the potential career paths that match your skills and interests. You can use online tools such as career quizzes, personality tests, and job boards to discover new possibilities and learn about the requirements and expectations of different roles. You can also network with former colleagues, alumni, friends, and family who have made similar transitions or work in fields that interest you. Ask them about their experiences, challenges, and advice.

You can use online platforms, websites, or blogs to display your portfolio.

You need to research the company or organization, review the job description, and practice your answers to common and behavioral questions. You also need to prepare some questions of your own to show your interest and curiosity. You need to dress professionally, be punctual, confident, and courteous, and follow up with a thank-you note.

As a lecturer with industry experience I would look for work that enabled me to continue passing on my knowledge in the work place. Such as managing volunteers in the countryside. I don’t think you should ever stop sharing your knowledge.
