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

  • Hi Brian

    You've said, "The only experience I have is through my placement year where I was responsible for delivering and coordinating training programmes."  To me, that is teaching experience.  As you have delivered training, the communication skills you used would be the same.  The coordination skills would be the same (timetabling, ensuring the material fills the duration of the lecture, etc).  

    As part of the competency interview, I would expect to get questions about communication skills, organisational skills and skills around dealing with difficult questions/people.  

    Best of luck for the interview!

    Hi Brian - whilst you have your masters in HR qualification, you will also be required to have a "teaching qualification" (ie) PGCE or DTLLS. This qualification will enable you to teach HR modules on the CIPD programme or other business/hr units at the college.
