Teachers: need a career change? I highly recommend the Exit Plan online course from Educated Exit. Chris MacLean has put together inspiring step-by-step instructions for transitioning from the classroom to the boardroom.

Before “Educated Exit” I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. My little sister used Educated Exit to leave her teaching job last year and now it’s my turn to head towards my exit. “The Exit Plan” has given me focus, motivation, and direction. The resources are valuable to my career change and have built up my confidence. The best part about working with Educated Exit is the human connection, Chris has been instrumental in guiding me through this process that I once thought was impossible.

Before starting The Exit Plan, I was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty about leaving education. I was applying to any job I could find without any real strategy. This course changed everything for me. I learned how to plan my job search, stand out, follow up, and handle interviews—things I had no clue about before. It brought me a sense of peace and excitement about my future. Now, I feel equipped with the right tools to succeed. My favorite part was discovering how to highlight my skills for the corporate world and frame my resume and cover letter in a way that feels authentic to me. I'm incredibly thankful for this course and excited about what lies ahead.

I accepted an offer that meets two of the top three criteria I value in an alt ac role! I cannot imagine developing such clear search criteria and effective application materials without the Exit Plan, and I could not be more pleased with the encouragement and support from the team at Educated Exit.

My biggest challenge in the career transition process was really finding a starting point that did not feel insurmountable! Where to begin, who to trust for advice and guidance, how to take actionable and strategic steps to networking, creating a new resumé and cover letter, was all overwhelming. The Exit Plan not only made this process truly accessible, it anticipated these stressors, addressed them with clarity & resources, and empowered me from lesson one. The best part of the Exit Plan is that it provides outstanding education and resources, while simultaneously offering assurance that you are not alone in this process and you are absolutely deserving of better, healthier, happier work.

I never knew how to properly write my resume to showcase my transferable skills. The steps provided helped me create one that really shows my value. It's making a huge impact on my applications, so far. Five targeted applications submitted. Two interviews!

I found the multiple examples on how to create my resume quickly step-by-step to be very helpful. Using the templates provided I now have the resume that sells my value clearly.

I always struggled to answer the interview question "Tell me about yourself." I get nervous and stammer over my answers. Getting a quick snapshot on how this question using the "present-past-future" formula eased my nerves.

The deep dive on unique value propositions helped me identify clearly what I bring to the table. I have always struggled with talking about myself, but this exercise helped me focus on the most important strengths as well as why I would be an asset to other companies outside of teaching.

The "Helpful Resources" section is a gold mine. I have used the resume and cover letter templates already and landed my first interview! I cannot wait to get to the interview and job offers stages armed with the planner and email templates to get what I deserve.

I liked that you talked about the common mistakes teachers make when creating their vision and values. It allowed me to go through and look at my own from another viewpoint.

I found it useful to learn the sales terminology and how it relates to job searching in today's market. I am applying the sales based strategy in my search now and have had three screening calls and two interviews in less than 2 weeks since starting the course. I am more confident in my ability to leave than ever before.

I think what I liked most about the course is the reminder and support to get rid of the emotion of leaving education and start taking action to accomplish my goal of finding a job with more respect and growth opportunity.

My favorite part of the Exit Plan course was learning how to understand the common pitfalls of the job search. It opened my eyes to the fact that I have indeed been "sparying and praying" with my resume without result. Targeting is my new mantra.

Learning how to best dive into the roles posted to determine the alignment to both what I am looking for in a company as well as what I can offer has made a huge impact for me.

The LinkedIn Tutorial is worth the price of the course all by itself!

The instruction provided on how to use LinkedIn's job search filters efficiently to narrow down my search was phenomenally helpful. The tip to look on Friday morning's for new roles works! It does appear that most jobs are updated and posted on Thursday's, so my new search sessions are Friday's with my peppermint tea.

The Target Opportunity Pipeline was a God send! I love a good spreadsheet. I created my own prior to taking the course but the one provided is a far better and intuitive version to use for tracking my targeted opportunities.

Something that I have struggled to do in the past has been the follow up after interviews. The primer module on interview performance gave me a quick and easy way to follow up while also standing out during interviews. The templates and resources are so easy to implement. Thanks for this!

The Exit plan helped me learn the importance of digging into a job offer and getting the most out of it instead of simply accepting it. I never thought I could counter a job offer and would not have had a clue how to do it. I feel confident and excited to build my new career and get what I need.

I really enjoyed the Proof of potential module. It helped me see how important it is to utilize every opportunity to stand out during and more importantly, after interviews. I now know that I need to be taking every opportunity to showcase who I am and what I have to offer to each company I want to work with.

The interview question resources and preparation you provided are incredible! I worked with another career coach before taking this course and didn't get anything close to this level of detail or support. I was able to create a two-page cheat sheet of notes to take with me to review ahead of my interview and felt confident in my skills and abilities. The best part is I've been invited to round two. Thanks for all you do for teachers.

I absolutely loved the multiple examples, step-by-step tutorials, and templates provided for resumes and cover letters!

Before taking the Exit Plan I had no idea what my unique value was or could be. The unique value proposition module was one of my favorite activities and it was also very challenging for me. This was where I started to see that I'm more than "just a teacher" and that I really do have fantastic skills to offer. Thank you for this resource!

Vision and values! This made me dive deep into what values I missed out on during my teaching career and what I would like to see in my new career. It helped me differentiate what values are truly important to me.

The chapter on finding Clarity helped me realize that I had no real understanding of where or why I was applying to different jobs. This lesson helped me understand how important clarity is in making my next steps.

I liked seeing the progression from being overwhelmed with lots of options to having a focus and narrowing down what I actually want in my next career.

It's like you are reading my mind! Anticipating the anxiety in not having clarity for what comes next in the job search is such a relief!

I thought the breakdown of the corporate hiring process was helpful. As someone who has only had educational interviews in the last 10 years, it is helpful to understand how other career fields actually hire people.

My favorite part of the course was the focus on using a sales approach to job search, not the drunken bird method.

I truly appreciated the direct instruction on what not to do as a job searcher. I have made the "spray and pray resume" mistake, as well as not tailoring my resume and cover letters to the needs of each job I applied for. I am grateful to have learned now how to correct this early on in my process.

I tried a course from another career coach 9 months ago that was helpful in showing me that my emotions matter, but did not provide me actionable advice. My search stalled and I am still employed as a teacher. Now that I am taking this course, I see that my ability to leave teaching behind is within reach. Thank-you for sharing your personal journey and teaching me that strategy trumps emotion and drives results.

Thank you for anticipating the needs of an educator on day one of leaving the system. I wholeheartedly believe success begins and ends with mindset, and I love how the Exit Plan focuses on this from the start!

I cannot thank you enough for providing me with a clear path forward. Prior to starting the course I was an emotional basket case. Since completing the course, I now have a strategic approach that has given me the confidence that I can get out, without feeling shame for my emotions. My first interview is scheduled for next Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Thank you the detailed review of the LinkedIn platform with direction on content, purpose & function.
