Why this is a Good fit, not Strong
Teaching skills are relevant, but the posting asks for some experience outside teaching. The posting says: “2+ years of experience in K-12 education, educational sales support, conference event staffing, or field marketing within the EdTech/publishing industry.” Skills that often transfer to sales & accounts: presenting to a room, reading what people actually need, persuasive communication, knowing how schools buy.
