Land A Job As A Visiting Faculty Member



  

by Diane M. Calabrese

One veteran visiting faculty member has held seven past positions in the category. Yet the particular job-hunter continued to worry in August about being employed for the 2001-2002 academic year.

Word-of-mouth--colleagues knew of hidden needs at colleges and universities--had helped bridge the way to a job in the past. Links established through demonstrated competence and goodwill in a series of previous positions might still land the seeker a job by the time classes resume on campus. Thus, the individual is serious about being available on the shortest of notices, if not exactly sanguine about the possibility of being called.
