I used to work for a Uni in Scotland but had to leave due to relocation. I now live in USA and there is a pretty strong case for the Uni having some kind of representation in the city where I live. I met with my old dean a couple of months ago and steered the conversation towards that. She admitted having someone on the ground here would be useful. I am currently a sahm looking for part time flexible work (which is rare here), can work from home (kids at school), legally able to work in USA, obviously know the Uni, am used to freelance work (self motivated and proactive).
I am in the process of writing a report for the Uni stating the case for having someone working for them here, basically explaining the opportunities for expanding into this market and what I can do to secure them. I haven't been asked to do this but want to invest the hours in case it results in a job.
Has anyone done anything similar and if so, how did you go about it and what were the results?
