  • “Career coach for a teacher moving into instructional design”

    I'm looking for a career coach for teachers who has helped educators move into instructional design or corporate L&D. I've taught 7th grade science at a public school in Ohio for nine years, and this school year is my last.

    I've finished a Coursera course and built one Articulate Rise module, but I don't know if I need a master's, which titles to search (instructional designer, learning experience designer, enablement), or how to translate lesson planning into corporate language.

  • “Help me plan a career change at 40 out of restaurants”

    I want help with how to change careers at 40 after 15 years in restaurant management. I'm a general manager for a casual-dining chain in the Phoenix area: P&L, hiring, scheduling, vendor contracts and a team of 45.

    I'm burned out on nights and weekends and I'd like a Monday-to-Friday role. Operations, supply chain, customer success and facilities have all come up, but I can't tell which ones actually value restaurant experience, and I can't afford to go back to school full time.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

  • 01

    How much does career guidance or career change cost in the US?

    Usually $50–250. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What should a teacher bring to a career change coaching call?

    Your current resume, one or two lesson plans or units you're proud of, and a short list of postings that interest you. A sample module, even a rough one, helps the coach judge what to build next.

  • 03

    Do teachers need a master's degree to become instructional designers?

    Not usually. Many instructional designer postings ask for a portfolio and tool skills such as Articulate Storyline or Rise rather than a specific degree, though some university and government roles list one.

  • 04

    What restaurant skills carry over to an office career?

    Budget and P&L ownership, hiring and training, scheduling, inventory, vendor negotiation and handling escalations. Coaches usually help you put numbers on them, such as team size, sales volume and cost savings.

  • 05

    How many coaching sessions does a career change usually take?

    Many people start with one or two: one to choose a direction and one to review a plan. Ongoing check-ins are optional and depend on how much accountability you want.

  • 06

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 07

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
