Applying for a job as a lecturer

[MsWalterMitty]

Not sure if this is the right section 🧐

I’m currently in the process of applying for a job as a lecturer in a field i have been involved in for the past 20yrs. I have also been a qualified teacher for 3yrs.

But I’n worried as I’m not naturally academic. It’s a lot of genuine hard effort on my part to even scrape above average academically. I have always been a mid range learner… Cs in school, merits in college, 2:2 in uni. It is only my
Pgce I have ever gained a distinction!

I’m good at my job, experienced and have developed my practice over the years through theory.

But I’m worried they wont even look at me due to my lower than average academic scores.

Is there any point me trying?

You absolutely should apply if you would like the job. If you don't want it that's a different story but don't regret not applying down the line

I also think you should apply!

Did you apply in the end?
