You are in control of your own life. So take action over the things you can control and make peace with the things you can't. #cce

I’ve always wondered how they determine who yo grant the interview given the sheer number of submissions. Nevertheless, like what the others have pointed out, just focus on your teaching. If it comes, it comes.

nowadays im not sure of how prevalent hiring of mid careers is anymore...but im sure similar to fresh grad hiring, its probably a lot more stringent and demanding?

So why should someone who is a mid career switch get promoted faster when there's no difference in the qualities?

Some mid career people may also hv years of experience
dealing with youth or kids outside of their corporate work eg social work etc

If you show adaptability, ability to learn fast and value-add, in addition
you also bring to the table, maturity and dexterity in handling interpersonal
relationships, management of tasks etc, your other past skills eg IT and your school/RO
appreciate these, there's a good chance of fast promotion or increment when demonstrate
these skills consistently well. Being humble, non self defensive, good relationship
with RO ...are these are important as well.

The same applies for teacher switching careers.

People with industry experience bring quite a lot to the table that single-career teachers may never be able to.
