There is an immense amount of tasks a school leader must devote their time to. And while school leaders want to be available, visible, and helpful to teachers and staff members at their school, protecting their time for other essential tasks is equally important. The strategies shared in this article can help school leaders proactively manage their time instead of reactively responding to every request as it comes in.

Job-searching with a less-than-optimal current job title
|
|
|
Clients and readers send me their job-search questions each week. Here’s a recent one (that I hear often):
“I am a senior leader within my organization, but my job title doesn’t translate that way externally. How do I position myself for senior roles when my current job title isn’t reflective of my actual level of seniority???”
I discuss job titles A LOT with my clients, especially when it comes to signifiers of seniority (i.e. associate, coordinator, manager, director, managing director, VP, etc.). The reality is that your job title at one organization may not translate well to an external audience, and that can be an issue when conducting a job search. For example, I had a client who oversaw all new teacher preparation for a large public school district, and their job title was “coordinator.” I’ve had clients with the job title “Chief of Staff” who mostly provide administrative support to a leadership team, and others who are the number two within large organizations.
Let’s say you’re currently the “Associate, Strategic Initiatives” within one organization, and now plan on applying to the role of “Managing Director of Special Projects” at another organization. Based on the job description, you meet all qualifications and it’s mostly a lateral move. Your current job title suggests otherwise. Here are some tips to navigate:
- On your resume, put a different job title in parentheses next to your current job title. For example: Associate, Strategic Initiatives (Senior Lead of Org-Wide Strategy and Operations).
- Create a headline under your name in your resume, and align it with your target roles (i.e. Strategy and Operations Leader).
- In your resume bullets, clarify the reporting structure for your current position. For example, “Report directly to the Chief Operating Officer and lead a 4-person team.”
- Also on your resume, quantify and qualify the scope of your experience and impact - size of the projects you lead, numbers of people your work serves, size of the budget you oversee or work with, and progress towards goals.
- If asked about the scope of your role in an interview, answer directly: “I’ve noticed that the job titles at my current organization don’t always align with those of other employers. For example, Associates at [insert current company] are akin to managing directors elsewhere. I see this role at your organization as an aligned and exciting opportunity, where I can apply my background in [insert background] to accelerate [insert target company name]’s impact.”
