Struggling to leave teaching
Hi,
I am from the UK. I have been a primary school teacher for 6 years now, having worked in 3 different schools in 3 different countries. After this experience I am very sure that I do not want to continue as a classroom teacher. I can do my job fairly well; however, it is an extremely draining job and I feel unhappy in this job. I don't feel it is for me. I have tried to leave many times but due to the lack of response from other fields, I end up back as a teacher because I need a job and an income.
Teaching has so many transferable skills but I don't think many employers see that. I have been applying to administration type jobs, recruitment jobs, training jobs and have not had any luck. When I post my C.V on recruitment sites I get interest from schools but absolutely nothing from anything I apply to. I have tried to make my C.V more "corporate" with the help of a HR manager from a finance company but all my experience is still in schools which I can't really change.
Has anyone changed career from being a teacher in Dubai? What fields are more likely to accept teachers? Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to make the specific transition from teaching to another profession ?
