Steps to take to start your career as an Instructor and other jobs like it

  • There is a broad range of subject matters these types of roles can cover that can match with anyone’s interests. Choose an area you have a passion for, have some prior experience with and want to learn more about.
  • Instructor and Educator type jobs don’t have the same formalized education requirements as teachers but they do require that people in these roles have minimum levels of specific subject matter knowledge. That may be developed training for the job or it may be a requirement to apply. Do your research.
  • Some areas require instructors to be licensed or certified. Research the specific requirements in your area and job. Some of these certifications may also require a minimum level of education and even advanced degrees.
  • Having prior experience speaking or organizing groups, even if it’s in a different subject area than the job you are interested in helps you separate from other applicants. These show you have experience with the soft skills needed for these roles.
