Hi everyone!
I have been applying to become a part-time adjunct for sometime now… I’ve never been called in for an interview or a call back. I have my Master’s degree in teaching and I wanted to start teaching at the community college level. I am a full-time federal employee, but want to teach part-time. I do not know what I’m doing wrong. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. How does one get an adjunct position?

Hi there!
I am currently in an ITP (been in for a year so far) and I start interpreting classes in the upcoming Fall semester. I’ve loved my classes and most of my professors…. But there is one professor that gives me pause. She is a professor and also one of the program managers. She has been a certified interpreter for over 20 years in the private sector and has ruffled many of the students’ feathers. To be quite frank, she is brutally blunt. She has told people to quit the program, that their signing is terrible, and I’ve even heard her tell someone, “Good luck finding a job if you piss me off!” I am currently a federal employee with a master’s degree; I say this because even though I have a career, I was hoping to expand my career options and make more connections. I fear for the day she that level of hostility turns my way and tries to block job opportunities. Does anyone have experience dealing with this type of personality in the interpreting profession?
