THE SEARCH PROBLEM

You're not unqualified. You just can't search for jobs you don't have names for.

You've been searching one word

Type "education" into a job site and every result is a teaching job. So you close the laptop and assume the problem is you.

The work already counts

The committee, the PD nobody else wanted to run, the tool everyone asks you about. That's the experience these roles hire for. It just has different names on it.

Most gaps aren't skill gaps

Usually you've done the thing and there's simply no proof of it anywhere. That's a packaging problem, and it's a much better one to have.

You have time you're not using

The year you're in right now is the cheapest time you'll ever have to build evidence, because you're already doing the work.

SEE THE OUTPUT

This is what you leave with

Not a generic download. This one is filled in from what you told it — a one-page map you can print and keep.

Three job titles that fit what you already do

Plus the other names the same job gets posted under, because they vary by company.

Exactly what to type into a job site

The specific search terms, and the reason "education" was never going to work.

An honest read on what's missing

Sorted into what you can prove, what you've done but can't prove, and what you genuinely haven't done. Those are different problems with different fixes.

One thing to build, and a date

Not a list of twelve. One, chosen from work you're already doing this year.

HOW IT WORKS

Fifteen minutes, start to finish

01

Tell it what you already do

In normal teacher language. No translating into professional-speak - that's its job, not yours.

02

Bring two or three real job postings

This is the part people skip, and it's what makes the result yours instead of generic.

03

Get your map

One page. Copy it into a doc and print it.

WHETHER THIS IS FOR YOU

Who this is for

This is for you if

You've been in the classroom a while and you've been quietly doing more than teaching - the committee, the PD you ended up running, the tool everyone asks you about. You've already decided you want out. You just can't find the door.

This isn't for you if

You're still deciding whether to leave. That's a real question and it deserves a real answer, but this tool won't help you with it. It's built for people who've already decided, and it'll still be here when you are.

WHO BUILT THIS

I'm Kim.

I taught, then I left - and I did it badly at first. I built an instructional design portfolio, applied to ID roles, and got exactly zero interviews. Then an edtech company approached me for a completely different job because they wanted the classroom years I'd been trying to downplay.

I now work in edtech as a professional development manager, and I've sat on the other side of the table interviewing other former teachers. The skills this tool measures you against aren't from a blog post. They're what I kept seeing decide who got hired.

QUESTIONS

Before you start

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT?

No. It works on a free account. The only difference is that a free account may not be able to generate a downloadable file at the end — you'll copy the map into a doc instead, which takes about ten seconds and prints the same.

Do I need to be good at AI?

No. It asks you questions and you answer them the way you'd answer a colleague at lunch. There's no prompting involved and nothing to learn.

How long does it really take?

About fifteen minutes of talking, plus however long it takes you to find a couple of real job postings. That's the part people underestimate, and it's also the part that makes the result specific to you instead of generic.

What if I can't find any job postings?

Tell it that. It'll work from typical postings for your titles and say plainly that the result will be more general.

Is anything I type stored or sent to you?

I never see your conversation. Don't paste student names, district account details, or anything confidential — the tool reminds you of this too.

Is this going to try to sell me something?

Once, at the very end, after you've got your map. Not before, and not twice.
