I think I have made a decision on my career from September. I dislike the culture of my school, the location doesn't allow for any work/life balance and I just think I need to make a change as I did my training there and am forever feeling like the student baby.
I work in an area where I can pick and choose where I work, basically. I am still getting emails and calls from my agencies every few weeks asking if I fancy a change or am looking for another role.
Can some more experienced teachers tell me about what I need to do to essentially secure another job and part amicably with my current employer? I have a few questions.
- how do I interview for another school when I already have a job? How does this work with interviews?
- is it best to be blunt with agencies 'I dislike x y and z with my current employer, I want a b c with my next employer.'
- when do I tell my employer I am leaving? Should I do it on deadline day, or should I get it out the way early?
Any other words of wisdom much appreciated. I am terrified.
