Biotechnology PhD with teaching experience struggling for jobs – What are my options?

Ans: Hi Shaikh,

It's great to hear about your extensive experience in Higher Education Academics and Administration in the Indian context. Exploring opportunities abroad, particularly in Gulf countries and Canada, can be an exciting prospect. As an expert, I can offer some guidance on how to initiate the process of job hunting in these regions.

Research and Identify Opportunities: Begin by researching the job market and academic institutions in the Gulf countries and Canada. Look for universities, colleges, or educational organizations that match your expertise and qualifications.

Update your Resume/CV: Tailor your resume to highlight your relevant experience, skills, and achievements. Emphasize your academic qualifications, administrative capabilities, and any research or publications, if applicable.

Networking: Networking is crucial in any job search. Reach out to your professional contacts, colleagues, or alumni who may have connections or knowledge about opportunities in your desired locations. LinkedIn can be a valuable platform for networking.

Explore Online Job Portals: Many international academic institutions and universities post their job openings on reputable online job portals. Look for websites specific to the education sector and use general job portals as well.

Engage with Recruitment Agencies: Some Gulf countries have specific recruitment agencies that specialize in placing professionals in the education sector. Connect with them to explore potential job opportunities.

Research Visa and Work Regulations: Before applying for jobs, familiarize yourself with the visa and work regulations of the countries you are interested in. Each country may have specific requirements for foreign workers.

Prepare for Interviews: If you receive interview invitations, thoroughly research the institutions and the specific roles you're applying for. Prepare for the interviews by highlighting your experience and showcasing your expertise.

Be Patient and Persistent: The job hunting process may take some time, so be patient and persistent in your efforts. Keep applying for suitable positions and follow up on applications when necessary.

Seek Professional Guidance: If needed, consider seeking assistance from career counselors or consultants who specialize in international job placements.

Remember, the job hunting process can be competitive, but your extensive experience and background in Higher Education Academics and Administration will undoubtedly be valuable in your pursuit of opportunities abroad. Best of luck in your job search, and I hope you find the perfect opportunity to further your career and enrich your experience.

Ans: Hi,
Although your question is beyond my scope, I'll still try to help. Are you teaching in English or is the medium of teaching English? I have a bit of doubt. If you've been teaching English for the last 14 years, maybe you've lost track.

Option 1: I think you're likely very proficient in English. You could consider utilizing this strength to pursue different jobs, such as editing language in resumes, articles, or research proposals, and charge for your services.

Option 2: If you're an academician at an engineering college but not involved in teaching environmental science, then maybe you can consider some consultancy work outside your regular hours. For example, you could assist in designing water desalination systems for large villas or apartments. Considering pollution is a major issue, you could become an expert in this area if you have the necessary expertise. It's worth a try.

All the best!
