52. How to Pitch Yourself
from Educator Forever
Making the decision to work beyond the classroom is such an exciting time and trying something new and different. But if you’ve solely worked in the field of education, some of the “business” aspects might be unfamiliar to you, such as pitching yourself. As teachers, we don’t have to sell our services, except to maybe our students, so that idea might be uncomfortable for you. So, if you’re venturing out to a new career, I’m going to share three tips on how to pitch yourself effectively. Although self-promotion isn’t a bad thing, it can often make people uncomfortable talking about themselves in such a high manner. But remember, you have the skills and expertise to be a vital asset at a company or running your own business. If that’s still a concern of yours, I provide three tips that help put you in the mindset of showcasing your skills as a benefit to others. Whether you’re hesitant about what tactics you need to take or just uncomfortable with self-promotion, this episode will teach you how to pitch yourself to set you up for success!
