Finding the Right Online Career Path

"Allow me to introduce myself. I have been posting about admissions on my page for the past month. I want to explain the work I do and why I mentioned that I am looking to hire on my profile. My name is Aanchal and I have been working in the field of education for almost two years now. Last year, I worked under an educational consultant who helped students with admissions for 10th, 12th, UG/PG courses, and professional courses. I was the first person to join their office, and after working there for a year and a half, I even helped a friend of mine join the same office. I have knowledge and experience as I joined before my friend. However, my friend's behaviour suddenly changed towards me. She became irritating and always put me down in front of my clients and boss. She even fought with me over my salary. I was so angry with her behaviour and maybe she wanted to be the only one in the office. I worked with her for a long year, and after that, my mental health was not okay. I decided to leave that office and risked my professional life. I left that job in April 2023, and since then, I have been searching for a job in my field, but I have not been able to find one. Whatever jobs I found, they made me feel demotivated. So, after a year of job hunting, I decided to start my own admission consultancy online. I created pages on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and I have my own students. I want to grow my business, and that's why I started this online work. Please support me." if you can just give me students who need me and my consultation. contact number (+91 79822 57877) @Edufreelancer

Job search update: I have officially been unemployed for two months. I know so many people have been unemployed for longer, but time seems to move so slowly when your livelihood is on the line. Anyone else? I find myself constantly in a place where I think to myself, “I KNOW I can do this job! I know I can do it well!” I am ready and bursting to dive into a new position-to learn and grow and excel like I’ve done before. But, having transitioned out of teaching only a year ago, sometimes my written experience in a resume doesn’t speak to how truly capable I am. I can’t wait for the company that looks at my resume, sees “Music Teacher,” and gets excited! So much of the teaching experience is in the back of the school, working and eating lunch at your desk during an all-too-short conference period. Not observed and therefore not understood. People think they know the skills and charisma that being an impactful and effective teacher takes, but in truth very few do. No matter how many posts I see on LinkedIn urging employers to take teaching experience seriously, part of me wonders if it doesn’t register as “valid” experience to most. Most days I find myself strategizing how I could convince them…how could I show them that my cover letter is not just a bunch of words about “transferable skills” but honest communication about how I am truly equipped for the positions I am applying for? How could I convince them of the communication skills it takes to empower students of all ages and all ranges of interests and abilities to master abstract concepts within music? How could I convince them of the administrative skills it takes to maintain 1,200 student records, fill out paperwork for all students within the 1,200 who need accommodations, plan concerts and community events, communicate with parents, and track student progress and how they are measuring against student learning objectives? How could I convince them of the interpersonal skills it takes to gain the trust of students-many of whom have no reason to trust adults-so much so that they buy into the content I am teaching? The versatility it takes to teach five year olds for an hour and then transition to nine year olds within a five minute passing period? The adaptability to teacher expectations changing yearly if not monthly? The time management skills it takes to plan six hours worth of lessons down to the minute because if you don’t students will become disengaged, and you will lose control of your classroom? Project management, curriculum planning, presentation creating, budget handling, creative problem solving, team collaboration…. And so much more. I know there is so much to learn, and I am so eager to learn it all! The education world and the corporate world are two different things, no doubt. But, I am more confident than ever that I CAN DO THIS. I am equipped. And I can’t wait to see which employer thinks so too.

Growing up, we focused on building our career paths. Lawyer. Engineer. Accountant. Doctor. A lot of "traditional" careers. These days, being a vlogger or an influencer is also a career path. However, what do you do if you are an investment banker but also have the ability to: -       sing -       write -       lecture -        launch a startup, etc Thus, having a career that is defined 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘭𝘺 by what we learned in school can be limiting. I was having a conversation with Craig M. and we discussed Charles Handy's coinage of the term “𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒐” in the 1990s, which may now be mainstream. A career portfolio is a collection of your professional experiences, skills, and accomplishments that go beyond the traditional resume. It represents your diverse and evolving journey in the world of work, encompassing various roles, skills, and experiences that you've gained throughout your life. Like how an investor invests across different asset classes or companies in his portfolio. Here's how to understand and build a career portfolio: - A career portfolio is different from a traditional career path, which often follows a singular trajectory. It's more like an ongoing journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. - It encompasses a wide range of experiences, from traditional jobs to volunteer work, community service, side hustles, passion projects, hobbies, and other activities where you've created value and served others. - It may include personal experiences, skills, or aspects of your identity that don't typically appear on a resume but are essential to your professional identity and work.   The benefits of a career portfolio are that it’s a lifelong asset that you build and maintain, and it can't be taken away from you. Your diverse set of skills allows you to navigate ambiguity and make creative connections between different experiences.   You can combine skills from various experiences to tackle new challenges, diversify income sources, and serve in different ways.   Make connections between the different components of your portfolio.   Develop a portfolio narrative that explains how your combination of skills makes you valuable to employers and how these skills enhance each other. Your portfolio becomes a powerful tool for telling your unique story to potential employers or collaborators, helping you secure the roles you want. It's great to have a career path. But don't neglect building a career portfolio.
