just finished uni ... and BOOM

[Zak]

Finished university in July, went for my first interview for a college lecturer on Thursday. Looking good, been put on trial, I start Wednesday.. HNC level. 19.75 an hour. Shhhhweet

Proper nervous! I'm younger than most of the students I'll be teaching. Plus I have a lecturer watching over me because I'm not fully CRB checked still.... any tips? other than get off runescape :P

[Metric1]

When I'm finished uni I'm sure as **** not setting foot in school again!! Good luck!!!

"Hi I'm Zak. I play Runescape.. if you work hard today, I'll give you half an hour free time at the end of the lesson.. to play Runescape :D"

Gota work!

Computer Science. I got 65.67% I think.. so a 2:1 overall.

Start tonight... dam I am so nervous.

[lawrawrrr]

Good luck Zak, let us know how it goes!! Really lucky to get such a good job straight after finishing, so jealous ;)

Just be natural and try and relax. Pretend you're in your room rehearsing the lecture rather than actually giving it; really calms you down. If you're nervous it'll really show and people won't want to learn from you!

[Matt]

Wew, I'd love to have finished my Education and go out and get a proper job. And yeah, that wage is an amazing amount to start at! Aslong as you be yourself and go by the rules, you'll have a great time and do a fab job. Goodluck :-)

It went awful :P The teacher said it went as he expected "I went too fast, and I didn't explain things properly before I did them". I didn't freeze though I suppose. Still didn't like it :P

You'll get better when you're more used to it :).

practice makes perfect!

Thanks guys. I have to do three hours teaching in a row next Wednesday. All I can hope for is an improvement on last week. If the students don't like it, o well. **** em ! :P

Good luck, it's excellent that you've been able to find a new job so quickly.

So close to a first. Well done.

[-:Undertaker:-]

A great success story, well done. :)

[Grig]

Good luck with it :).


Try to engage with the students. There is nothing worse than a University Lecturer standing there reading off a peace of paper. The best always engage.

According to form Zak; improved today and it was a success; I think he's getting used to it more now :).

Thanks so much Sam. I've been really nervous about this whole order, teaching for three hours after only doing one hours teaching ever is a real shock. First time I'd ever done a lecture (I presented the tutorial last week), it went much much much better x10 better! Last week was truly awful but even over critical me, I thought I did really well today.

Mick (The teacher observing me whilst my eCRB comes back said I did really well). Looks like this is a permanent thing, I have the job now anyway. Thanks for posting this though Sam, I felt really good after today and this just topped it off :) :) :)

I am off next week as it's their half term, but week after I'm back to work :)

edit: so many nice comments in here.. thanks a bunch you guys for supporting me. I don't have many friends in real life, so it's nice to see so many people actually care.
