Lecturer Interview

BRIAN ANTHONY

Hello Everyone

My name Is Brian and I received my Associate CIPD membership for successfully completing Masters Degree in HR. I applied to become a lecturer in Business with specialisms in a local college and have been invited for an interview this friday.

I do not have any teaching experience. The only experience I have is through my placement year where I was responsible for delivering and coordinating training programmes. Can some one please advice what questions may be asked at the interview. I would really appreciate any guidance.

Thanks

Parents

    Its also probably worth doing a little research on what training programs or additional qualifications you could look to get (while employed by them) so you are ready with a "As you can see I have no direct lecturing experience but I believe with some mentoring from a more experienced colleague and over time perhaps doing the X teaching Adults qualification" etc

    More than that they will be looking for a real enthusiasm for your subject, the credibility to stand up in front of adults and lecture and someone they can get along with

    Good luck

    Hi Keith, thank you for your advice.
    I am just after receiving another e-mail that the interview format is competency based.
    I am not 100 % sure how competency based interview format will fit for a lecturer. As I understand such interviewees look for specific examples. Now I did a placement with a council where I coordinated and delivered training programmes. Perhaps I could use some examples on planning and organisational skills during my placement year. My other work experience is all in customer services.

    They have seen your CV so know what your experience is - they cant be expecting you to have lecturing experience so I would just focus on where you can demonstrate the same sort of experiences elsewhere.
