If your professional life isn't quite where you'd imagined it this time last year, don't worry, you're definitely not alone! Whether you're searching for a new role or just in need of a solid side gig, we've got some ideas.    First, it's always a good idea to go back to your resume with fresh eyes and give it another look to see where you can improve or tailor it for a new opportunity. Next, set aside some time to grow your professional network. Whether it's LinkedIn or a quick hello via email, keeping in touch with your contacts is key to a successful job search. And finally, this might be a good time to think about starting another stream of income. Check out these tips for starting a side gig:    Do your research - remember that professional network? Reach out to them for insight into what needs they have that you might be able to help with.  Look outside the box - think about how your particular skills and expertise can make a unique impact on educators or students.  Share, share, share - you have skills that can help someone move forward, don't be bashful about sharing what you have to offer!  Keep connecting - that network might just be your lifeline, and you might be theirs. Bring your skills and expertise to the conversation, someone out there needs your resources!  Check out this guide for more insight on where the edtech jobs are these days as well as a great list of edtech side gigs.
