ID to teaching
Hello everyone. I have a Masters in International Development Policy from Canada and have worked in the non profit sector there for about 2-2.5 years. It has been a good experience so far but I want to move back home to Bangladesh for a year as I have been incredibly home sick and feel like being with my family will do my mental health some good. I am also hopeful about receiving an offer soon for a teaching position as a Lecturer at a university in my home country. My undergrad was in Journalism and the position will be in the same program and department and I will be primarily teaching journalism and media and mass communication courses. The NGO sector in Bangladesh is not the most stable right now given the funding cuts and I am less enthusiastic about continuing to work in this industry for a year given the instability. That being said, I have aspirations of re-entering the NGO sector again in the future whether in Canada or elsewhere in the world as staying in Bangladesh for a year will be a temporary thing.
So my question is, will working as a lecturer at a university look irrelevant on my resume and be a complete turn off for employers when I apply again for non profit or international development positions? Will it be viewed negatively? Please advise! Any advice is welcome.
