Educator Career Positioning

You're usually snapped up by a school straight away. This year you've heard almost nothing.

That is not the market rejecting you. That is the market not reading you. Different problem. Fixable problem.

You have strong experience. Solid results. International schools that know your name. You have always been the one getting called, not the one waiting.

So you applied early this cycle. You updated your resume. You reached out through Schrole, Search Associates, TES, through people you know. You applied to the schools you actually wanted.

And then you waited.

Not a "no." Just silence.

One school took a month to interview you and then said the role went to someone further up the leadership chain. A couple of schools have not responded at all. You are starting to wonder whether your application is even reaching a real person, or whether it is being filtered out somewhere before anyone reads it.

The thing is, this has never happened to you before. You have always moved from one role to the next. Principals have reached out to you. Colleagues have passed your name on. You were not the one refreshing your inbox hoping for a response from a school you would have had your pick of two years ago.

You are not less qualified than you were. The experience did not go anywhere. What changed is how competitive the market became and how easy it now is to be filtered out before anyone reads past the first line.

A two-column resume with a dark sidebar breaks in an ATS before a human sees it. A home country address on your profile signals you have left and are uncertain about returning. An email address that does not look professional gets filtered before anyone reads your results. Your best student outcomes are buried in bullet point four of a role description no one reads that far into.

None of that is your fault. You were not applying this way when the process was more forgiving. It is just not forgiving anymore.

International school positions for August fill on a rolling basis. The schools hiring for next year are shortlisting now. Every week that your profile and resume are not working for you is a week that window narrows.

That is what this is for. 

I have been in both rooms.

I spent a decade in education across Australia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. IB, IGCSE, university. I have lived the international school calendar. I know how it feels to be between contracts, applying from one country while targeting another, trying to make a resume written for one school tell the right story to a completely different one.

I am also a former recruiter. I have reviewed more than 8,000 profiles and resumes. I spent years on the other side of the desk, deciding in the first six seconds whether someone looked like a safe recommendation. I know how hiring decisions begin before a role is ever posted.

That combination is not common.

Most resume writers do not understand your industry. Most career coaches have never hired anyone. I understand how international education reads to a hiring manager, and I know exactly what needs to change.

I built Jobclub because I have been that educator. Between contracts, applying from one country while targeting another, watching strong teachers get filtered out before anyone read past the first line. The gap between how many educators write their resume and LinkedIn profile and how the market reads them is real. I know exactly what it costs, and I know exactly how to fix it.

Every teacher I have worked with has landed multiple interview requests. Some within 24 hours of their updated profile going live. Most within two to three weeks. Several have gone back and applied for roles they had already sent their previous resume to with no response. After the rebuild, those same schools came back to them.

What changes is not who you are. What changes is whether a hiring manager opening your application immediately understands what they are looking at.

Your headline stops reading "Generic Teacher" and starts showing the impact you've actually had in your career . The results your students achieved. The programmes you built. The scope you worked at. The outcomes a school would notice before they even look at your dates.

A Principal reviewing applications for a teaching vacancy does not want to work out whether you are good. They want your profile to make that obvious in the time it takes them to decide whether to keep reading. Right now it is not doing that. After we work together, it will.

You become the candidate whose application moves to the shortlist conversation before the formal process has finished. Not because you sold yourself differently. Because your profile finally shows what you have actually built, in language the people making the decision can read immediately.

You stop guessing what to fix and hoping the next application lands differently. You go into the next application knowing your resume and LinkedIn profile are doing the job they are supposed to do and get you an interview.

What you get:

A 60-minute strategy session. Once you secure your place, you will receive a booking link for your call. Before the session, you will complete a 30-minute questionnaire so I understand your full background, the specific roles you are targeting, and exactly where your applications have been stalling. The session is where we work through your narrative together. By the time we finish, I have everything I need to write both documents. You can relax until they are delivered.

Your resume, rebuilt. Your experience structured around outcomes, scope, and impact. Your student results, your programme leadership, your breadth of curriculum — all visible in the first half of the first page. The kind of document a school passes around before they have even called you. ATS-clean, two pages, no photo unless specified.

Your LinkedIn profile, rebuilt. Your headline, About section, and experience rewritten in the language that principals and hiring managers at international schools use when they are looking for someone like you. Formatted to read correctly on every device and pass an ATS without the layout breaking. The version that makes someone want to reach out rather than move on.

One round of revisions included. You review both documents. If something does not feel right, you tell me and I fix it.

This is not a template. Your profile and resume are written from scratch, for your specific background, your specific subjects, and the specific schools you want to be working at.

Is this the right fit for you?

This is for you if:

• You have a degree in education and experience at an international school
• You have moved through the international school hiring season successfully before
• You are getting few or no interviews this hiring season and you are ready to change that
• You are prepared to invest seriously in your career

This is not for you if:

• You are early career with no international school experience yet
• You are looking for a template or a low-cost DIY option
• You are not ready to invest in your career right now

If you are not sure whether your docs need this level of work, I am happy to take a look before you commit.

A note on how this works.

My main corporate positioning offer includes a 30-day guarantee. If clients are not receiving interview requests, everything is rebuilt at no cost.

This offer does not include that guarantee.

I cannot promise you a specific school, a specific country, or a specific start date. The international school market has variables neither of us controls: which roles open, which schools are still hiring.

What I can tell you is that every teacher I have worked with has landed multiple interview requests. I cannot promise which school makes the call. I can promise that when they look you up, they will find someone who looks exactly like the person they are trying to hire.

Your investment: 2,497 AUD

(around 1,312 GBP or 1,746 USD)

Resume and LinkedIn profile, rebuilt from scratch. Delivered within five business days of your strategy call. One round of revisions included.

Most teachers start landing interview requests within two to three weeks of their updated profile going live, and typically also receive a salary increase at their next role. One month of that difference typically covers this investment.

If this is the right fit, send me a message to get started,

Or send me a DM on LinkedIn.

Once you secure your place, you will receive a booking link to schedule your 60-minute strategy session. You will complete a 30-minute questionnaire beforehand. Submit that before we meet and the session runs straight into the work.

Your completed documents are delivered within five business days of our call.

If you are not sure whether your resume and LinkedIn profile needs this level of work, I am happy to take a look at your current docs before you commit. Just send me a message via LinkedIn, the link above or the contact form at the bottom of this page.
