How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
People who typically thrive in education are wildly driven and undeterred by mistakes. They also have to be there for the right reasons.
If you are not deeply passionate about the work, it's not going to work out. You are going to fail every single day.
This could be a student not understanding a lesson, or a candidate you liked not passing through the interview process. It could also be a strategy not going perfectly.
You always have to have the energy to get up, try something new, and be really resilient. Those are the folks most successful in the education industry.
