Thinking of Leaving Teaching?

Left with no job to go to

Leaving a toxic job with no job to go to can give you breathing space and the opportunity to explore new career paths. Disadvantages can include financial instability and potential difficulty finding a new job.

Here are some stories from people who left their jobs with no job to go to:

Left School – No plans for September

No Job – But Made the Leap

Positivity Post

I thought I could make it to 55 and take early retirement, but at the start of this academic year, I knew I didn’t have much left in the tank! 🙄
I had done a couple of free taster s/courses in the summer, so had a direction I wanted to explore. I took the plunge and handed in my notice before Easter, with no firm plan 🙈 but just knew I had to make the leap to give myself some head space 🤯
What I did:
👍Looked at lots of advice on here and other pages/websites
👍Had a pension chat
👍Upgraded my CV
👍Created job alerts on all the sites most relevant to me
👍 Applied for and got a place on the course I wanted
👍Was offered and accepted a Team Lead post for my exam board
👍Applied for and got 2 interviews (non-teaching)
👍Applied for and GOT a one year mat cover with CHES 3 days a week! 🎉

I’m not giving out advice and suggesting anyone should chuck in their jobs with nothing to go to, but sometimes it’s hard to see the wood from the trees. By freeing myself up I got some perspective.
✅I only followed up job leads I was really interested in, not because I was desperate.
✅I opened my mind up to things I would otherwise, have discounted.
✅I reassessed what was REALLY important, emotionally, mentally and financially.

I never realised just how many jobs there are out there and now wonder what I was so afraid of…… 🙈🤩

Still not sure how I will make ends meet or pay for my course, but I know I’ll be a ton happier and healthier and that I can ways top up with tutoring if needs be.

If you haven’t taken the plunge yet, but really want to, find something you really want to do, write lists, research, use your holidays to get the donkey work done and there will be light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️
