If you haven’t already, look up teaching responsibilities that transfer into project management, to tailor your resume towards that career. So many things we do as teachers transfer into the PM world. Goodluck!

Bring a teacher is project managing tons of tiny humans. Use that. Speak to it. Teaching is an asset as a PM, because you can already do the hardest thing about it: understand and manage multiple personalities.

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
