    Hi Ilites

    After 6 years of experience in IT industry, is it possible that our resume will be considered in other field such as an administrator job in schools etc.,I have already applied but sadly there was no response. I have clearly mentioned that my experience is in a different environment altogether.

    Could anyone please suggest? I am sorry if this is any kind of a repeat post.

    Perhaps you can highlight the administration/leadership roles you performed in your IT role while applying. For eg, leading a team, mentoring new inductees, writing Best practices manual etc and show how those skills can be translated into the new environment. If you have led a team you can talk about how that will help you lead a bunch of teachers. If you have worked with inductees, talk about your enthusiasm in working with fresh minds (aka kids).

    Do not sell yourself short by saying you had nothing to do with this industry. We all have something to do with the education industry someway or the other.

    janaki, yes its possible. My sister was in IT. After my neohew's birth, that IT job was not working for her. She now works as a teacher in my nephews school. She needed to take BeD.

    Depending on what specific job you want to target, you may need to take a course. Mind you most admin jobs pay less than any decent IT job.

    @butterflyice Sister,

    These days Annamalai University isn't doing good unlike earlier days, Sairam

    @Brahan Sister,

    You can try IGNOU, But for some positions B.Ed through Correspondence isn't acceptable, Check for which one you are planning your course.

    May baba guide you always, Best wishes, SAIRAM
