Marketing Yourself for a Career in Teaching
Contributed By: Megan Harsh
The Graduate Teaching Community (GTC) at UC Davis brings together graduate student instructors across disciplines and departments. Fall Quarter 2019, the group focused on the intricate pieces of a job application for a teaching position. We shared resources and ideas for crafting teaching philosophies, diversity statements, resumes, and more. While focusing half the meeting on these hard skills necessary for fending for yourself in the job market, the other half of the meeting focused on sharing our own reflections on our most recent teaching experiences.
When marketing yourself for teaching jobs, start by intentionally reflecting on what you spend your time doing each day. Although you may not have any specific number of hours lecturing students, you can use a number of other engagements to showcase all of the teaching related skills that you already have. Start and keep a portfolio of positive teaching anecdotes, student evaluations, along with your other application materials so you can keep updated as you get more experience. Start to imagine yourself as a junior colleague and remember that all of your experience is valuable. Don’t ever be afraid to brag a bit about what you’ve done.
