[Year 12 IT Apps] New Job- Not a Teacher Anymore!

[Alexakos, Zach Z]

I think you'll find that us IT teachers have more than enough skills to go anywhere, anytime.  A case of selling yourself in the right way.  As teachers we tend to underestimate ourselves and the skills we have- thanks in part to the media, and the devaluation of teaching by the wider community- why do you think our pay is so ordinary?  (Must admit Government doesn't help and the union IMHO has been really slack and in bed with the government till very recently).  
 
The job was advertised, I applied, no contacts with this one, and I got it.

How do you get to be an educational consultant?

	Hello all, 

	 

	I've started a new job as an education consultant- so if you have a need for interactive whiteboards (Smartboards) and associated visual equipment, (you name it, I'll have it) then you can give me a call on 0409 540 608 or email me at z.alexakos at electroboard.com.au 

	 

	I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank people on the lists for their help over the years, (the years have flown by!)- it's been tremendous, and without this support life would have been so much harder than it already is.  

	 

	 

	 

	Regards, 

	Zach Alexakos
