In today's episode, I reveal the hidden power of networking for educators aiming to pivot their careers into the exciting realm of user experience and product design. Through the UX Teacher Prep Podcast, you'll uncover the truth behind a robust professional network—not just as a collection of contacts, but as a pivotal force for career advancement. You'll learn that a resume might land on a desk, but it's your relationships that open doors, ensuring you're seen, heard, and remembered in spaces you've yet to explore.
In this episode, I share personal anecdotes from my own transition out of the classroom and into the tech sphere, offering practical strategies to forge meaningful industry connections. This isn't about social media numbers; it's about creating ongoing partnerships that support growth long after you've secured your dream role. So tune in, get inspired, and let's start building a network that not only enhances your net worth but secures your place in the future of tech.
