Voici comment vous pouvez vous démarquer auprès des employeurs de l’enseignement supérieur en tant que candidat débutant.

You have to master your research area during your PhD through extensive readings, learning new skills and join related training programs. You also should have a good publication record during your postgraduate programs and the early career phase.

Like any industry, someone with no experience may find it hard. I recall when I first entered the higher education sector with over 15 years of senior management and entrepreneurial experience, it took me awhile to secure a position in an education institution..reasons being education is still very much a traditional industry, and depending on the roles you applied, most prefer to hire experience people. In addition, most education institutions prefer someone with master's or even PhDs , this often raises the bar. Thus, I upgraded my qualifications to an MBA in order to expand my search opportunity, it proved to be a good investment and I was able to get interviews.

Networking actively helps entry-level candidates stand out to employers by building valuable connections, gaining insider knowledge, and uncovering job opportunities. Attend industry events, join professional organizations, and engage on platforms like LinkedIn. Seeking informational interviews and mentorship can provide insights and recommendations, showcasing your dedication and making a lasting impression on potential employers.

As a new employee in higher education, just like any other job in any industry, it doesn't hurt to take time to research to learn the system of working. Higher education tends to be more formal in structure, as staff in the education sector tends to have more concerns for processes and ethical standards since it's supposed to be educating people for the good of society , work place and community. Every industry has its culture norms, so having more networking with people working in the education sector will assist you to better understand if you could adapt to the sector.

"Start where you are and start right now." This mantra has guided my journey from the moment I finished high school. I began teaching immediately after high school, assisting younger students in grasping concepts I had mastered. This commitment continued through medical school and remains a cornerstone of my approach today. Experience, after all, is the only true path to expertise.

Do something other than the job description. Whilst you need to be able to do your job, think, "what else can I bring to the community?" Are you involved in other work, volunteering or do you have hobbies that would benefit the students (i.e. work experience) and the institution (i.e. making it a more desirable course because of this opportunity you would bring).

3 other things to consider: 1) Conduct interviews about the job before you apply. Ask to talk with the role's supervisor and a peer to get a better sense of the position and what they're looking for. They will often give you information that you can use to strengthen your application. 2) Show your research about the university, division, unit in your interviews. Answer questions that demonstrate your familiarity with the issues they are facing. This will make you really stand out. 3) Make sure to send out thank you emails within 24 hours of your interview.
