Looking for a teaching mentor: Alice's career change at 56
Seeking an experienced teaching professional for guidance on the transition from factory operator.
Anywhere in the worldPosted Oct 1, 2026851 views
I have worked as a factory operator for 15 years, and I'm 56. After my children starting school, I decided to move into teaching, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my CV and LinkedIn profile, a realistic view of the job market in Texas, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
