I have worked as a retail manager for 9 years, and I'm 29. After the factory closing, I decided to move into teaching, and I have completed an online certificate. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in Western, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
