Working as an adjunct faculty member at a major university has it’s benefits. Though you might not be tenured, you do get to teach or research in areas that you’re passionate about, and since adjunct professors aren’t always employed directly by the university they have adjunct status at, the job can come with a lot of flexibility. Before you can present yourself in the classroom, you have to present your credentials in the best light possible on a resume to land the position.
Education is obviously critical, so put your degrees front and center. Experience teaching is also important, so create a narrative that illustrates your ability to plan for lessons, explain complex subjects, and otherwise succeed in the classroom.
