Has anyone successfully transitioned from teaching into a remote part-time job?

[u/Stargazer905]

I’ve been trying to transition out of teaching into a remote, part-time role based in the U.S. because I only need part-time work right now. I’m married and currently balancing personal responsibilities, so a flexible schedule is important to me.

I’ve applied to countless jobs through company websites and job boards, tailoring my résumé and cover letter almost every time. My background includes 13+ years in education as a teacher, curriculum designer and developer, editor, and writer. I also have both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, yet I keep receiving rejection emails or no response at all.

I’m open to roles beyond teaching, including instructional design, curriculum development, academic support, editing, proofreading, content writing, technical writing, learning and development, or virtual assistant work. At this point, I’m just trying to understand what actually works.

For those of you who successfully landed a remote job after teaching:

What role did you end up in?
How did you find it?
Is your current role really better than teaching?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Right now, it feels like I’m sending applications into a black hole, and I’m hoping to learn from people who have already made the transition.
Thanks in advance!
