An opportunity
Sep. 22nd, 2006 09:11 amThe human resources manager forwarded an e-mail to me this week. "It's not that I'm looking for you to leave us," she said, "but if they have night classes, then this is something that might interest you." It seems that a local community college is looking at developing a program to train people who want to be legal administrative assistants. They are looking for instructors. If the classes are offered at night, I could get back into teaching, while still keeping my job.
I called and spoke with the Dean at the school, and I came away definitely excited. They are creating a 21-25 credit certification program, and yes, the courses would be taught at night. Some of the classes would be classes they already have in their program, but they would be creating three new ones. One would be on written legal procedures, I forget the second, but the third that definitely made me prick up my ears was "Business English."
"I would definitely be interested in teaching that one," I told him. When I told him my credentials, he was pleased, too. I have a Masters in English (they were just looking for someone with some college experience), I've taught in the English and Composition Departments as well as in the Continuing Education Program at the University, I have worked thirteen years as a Legal Administrative Assistant, and I've created a web-based newsletter for our law firm. And I'm a published writer.
The course would be developed for next fall (2007). So I will be sending in my resume, and I'll probably be talking with them in February or so. I think I would probably be one of the strongest candidates they would find.
Go me. I think . . . I think I might enjoy getting my toe back into the water for teaching again. And if it works out, who knows what it might develop into? It might help some of my frustration about my present career situation. We'll see.
