THE JOBS PODCAST

By: The Jobs Podcast
  • Summary

  • The Jobs Podcast provides a deeper dive into numerous aspects of all kinds of careers, the training needed to obtain certain jobs, the pros and cons of a job, pay scales, opportunities, etc. It also gives a glimpse into the lives of the everyday folks doing these jobs. Its tough sometimes to know if a career is a good fit for you based on a job board or school counselor. We attempt to give a more specific and helpful snapshot of a career from those who've been successful at it to help you, the listener, know if it's worth investigating that career further. We spend decades working and the choice of a career is more mystifying that it should be. So join us as we explore the people and the occupations that make the world go 'round.

    For over 3 decades Mike dedicated his life to helping kids learn, then leading the way as a principal, and then as a district administrator.

We talk about what makes a principal successful and how best to change with the roll as you move from teaching to leadership. We discuss soft skills and personality traits that lend themselves to being a successful principal and we even throw a little bass fishing advice into the mix. Mike is a prime example of who you want guiding your children and we need more leaders like him in our schools. Thanks Mike!
