I don't currently work in academia, but I do work in the vocational/professional field that I retrained in. The university that I trained at have kept in touch and I am often asked back to deliver lectures on the course.
The last time I was doing this I was encouraged to apply for the TF position. I've now been shortlisted (eek!) and been given the info about the interviews and presentations. It's an all day invite. I haven't been to a job interview for 10 years and in all honesty, that was for my current job which really was my first 'proper job'.
All of a sudden I think I'm punching above my weight, and I'm panicking a wee bit!
Do I wear a full suit? I know I have to do a presentation- do I just use the basis of some of my other lectures and shrink to fit or do I rewrite an entirely new presentation?
And I know you can't answer this, but am I mad to consider this? Am I fooling myself to think I can do this?
Any advice welcome!
