189 - Professional Development Workshop. Applying for a Faculty Position in a Teaching Oriented Institution

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

The workshop will cover the following topics: preparing an effective vita, constructing an effective job application and cover letter, surviving the campus visit, making an impressive teaching presentation, and interviewing with the President and the Academic Chief Officer. The major goal of the workshop is to prepare graduate students to effectively market themselves throughout their job search process from starting to look for a job to actually getting a job. The workshop materials emphasize that a job search is a long-term developmental process. The presenters for the workshop have extensive professional experience in diverse teaching-oriented institutions, and they have acted as search chairs numerous times during their professional careers. The workshop will be interactive and allow participants time to ask questions.
