Working with Wildlife: Overcoming Slow Burnout to Find Career Change Joy

Listen to this episode from The Adventures After Teaching Podcast on Spotify. “I didn’t realise it … I think I was slowly burning out.”Reception Teacher Georgi followed her passions into the world of education, but felt numb and burnt out by her last year in the classroom. Stumbling upon the Adventures After Teaching Academy, she loved the supportive community, practical resources, and tools to navigate all the ‘what ifs?’ of career change. Leveraging the power of LinkedIn to make connections, Georgi explored her passions once again, landing herself a job as a Zoo Education Officer (doesn’t it sound amazing?!) after a wonderfully positive interview experience. She now enjoys varied days, showcasing her creativity and organisational skills across two areas of interest: wildlife and education. In this episode, we also chat:Identity crisis Not knowing what to do Navigating LinkedIn whilst still teaching Growth, confidence, and connection on LinkedInThe most helpful resources for translating skillsFeeling confident going in to an interviewA day-in-the-life of a Zoo Education Officer (and the key skills you’ll need to get there!)Bringing fresh ideas to a role Following your interests to find career change joyLinks:RSPBBiazaWildlife Trust Butterfly Conservation Trust If you're looking for step-by-step support to find and secure a new job or start your own business, check out the Adventures After Teaching Academy which will help successfully you leave the classroom!
