Imagine if you could say that:
-
You send each application with confidence and optimism because you feel prepared and ready
-
Applying for leadership roles feels easy because you know precisely what to say to create authentic and impressive job applications
-
You know you can effectively answer interview questions and feel assured that you can cope with whatever comes your way
Landing an amazing leadership role in teaching is tough.
The competition is intense and you need to have a strong application and unshakable confidence in your interview technique.
But what if it’s been a while since you had an interview and you feel out of practice? What if the thought of facing LAOS questions fills you with dread? Or you just don’t know how to promote yourself well in writing?
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could wake up excited to go to work every day, knowing that you’ll be working with a supportive and innovative team? Knowing that your students are motivated and eager to learn because you’re creating a positive and inclusive classroom culture, where everyone feels valued and part of something?
And imagine if, to top it all, your job has amazing benefits and a salary that reflects the hard work you put in, so you finally have financial stability for your family and can say YES to that new car, or visiting those incredible holiday destinations.
You‘d love to finally put your skills and expertise to good use and make a real difference to students’ lives, but it feels like there are so many hurdles to overcome:
- How do you make your application stand out from all the others?
- How do you beat the nerves and show the best side of yourself in interviews?
- And how do you authentically impress employers and show that you are the best candidate for the job?
The Teachers’ Promotion Club is a monthly membership for teachers who are ready to advance their career, but want guidance to side-step the trial and error and do it right.
Rejection after rejection can be so disheartening. You have the experience and the training, but you just aren’t making it through the selection process. You may even start to question whether you’re really good enough for the positions you’re applying for.
Let’s bypass that right now and give you the tools and knowledge you need to confidently stand next to other leadership candidates and secure your dream teaching job!
ABOUT THE TEACHER
PROMOTION MENTOR
I’m Orla Dempsey, The Leading Specialist in preparing for leadership LAOS interviews.
I'm a Primary School Teacher and Career Mentor for Teachers. I'm the leading specialist in The Looking at Our Schools Document and in coaching using LAOS for teachers. In the last 7 years I’ve worked with over 400 teachers and principals applying for leadership roles, with a 71% success rate!
I know what a struggle it is to get through the application and interview process unscathed.
In 2015-2016, I applied for loads of jobs. I didn't get them. I was devastated, lonely and desperate to tell others that I'd secured a role.
In 2017, I became a Career and Life Coach and I had many light bulb moments, because I finally understood why I didn't get those jobs.
If you're here because you feel the same, then I see you.
I'm passionate about helping teachers understand that applying for teaching jobs is a whole new set of skills, and rejection is simply feedback showing that you need to try a new approach.
NOW is the time to learn those skills. I’ll help you fast-track the learning that took me more than 9 years, so you can overcome your obstacles and grasp every opportunity to go further!
Your next big career move is within your reach, let me show you the steps to success!

Q: Is the Teachers’ Promotion Club suitable for post-primary teachers?

Q: You’re not a principal yourself, how can you help me advance my career?
A: My expertise and interest in recruitment lies in understanding the wonderful qualities necessary to be a great leader, and how to use that awareness in job applications and interviews. I help all my clients build better job application skills and to believe in themselves.
As a coach, I hear teachers say things like "I hate interviews - I just can't sell myself" or "I don't know how much detail they want in interview answers" or "I completely over-thought filing in my application form - I was just so afraid that I'm not doing myself justice".
I care that you struggle with this and in The Teachers' Promotion Club - I show you that there is an easier way. You don’t have to do it alone - or worse, not at all!
Q: I’m newly qualified, is this membership suitable for me?
A: Yes! If you are ambitious and want support to advance your career with ease then it’s for you.
Q: Will anyone know I’ve joined The Teachers’ Promotion Club if I don’t tell them?
A: No! I understand that many teachers don’t want people to know they are thinking of applying for leadership positions and that anonymity is important. No one will know you’ve joined unless you choose to tell them - you are entirely in control of this information.

Member Successes
Linda secured her AP2 Post
Before joining the Teachers’ Promotion Club Linda did not have a good understanding of the Looking at Our Schools document. She had previously applied for AP posts and DP posts in the past but was unsuccessful.
Upon joining the Club, she scanned through the content and immediately changed her job application form. She had aha moments watching the videos and learned how to answer the conflict question competently, show the results of her contributions in the past and wrote her interview answers in the STAR format.
Linda has secured the role of AP2 and sees it as an important stepping stone to AP1 and beyond!
If this is your first time filling in a leadership job application form then you may feel a bit overwhelmed.

May Secured her Role as Deputy Principal
Following a webinar, Maura saw the value inside of The Teachers’ Promotion Club and quickly joined the club. Her aim was initially an AP post and she also knew that the DP role of her school was upcoming.
When the time came to fill in the leadership application form. May was terrified of it. On one of our Voxer Friday Coaching sessions – we chatted about this fear and she decided to break down the task into smaller chunks and fill in small bits of it – even over the Christmas holidays. Chatting about it made it seem more manageable. She was proud of herself and said that that she was going through the form slowly – and having done the first long session – the end was in sight.
The next I heard from her – she had secured the DP job!
