Through a blend of stories, market insights, and practical strategies, we will explore how roles in independent schools are evolving—and how your skills remain both relevant and deeply transferable. Participants will gain tools to navigate the job market, articulate their professional narrative in interviews, and glean insights into what a school’s IRS Form 990 reveals about its priorities, sustainability, and alignment with your professional goals. Conversations will be grounded in what makes this work meaningful: the students, families, and communities we impact every day. Please come prepared to share your own stories with the audience and walk away knowing that you already have the instincts to navigate the job market! Learning Objectives: You should leave this session with the ability to... 1. Strategically plan your career path, either within your current institution or beyond. 2. Respond to one of many commonly asked interview questions with a story. 3. Find and distill a school's historical financial profile (and know the types of schools that don't have to file.)
