RE: [MTC Global] Experience - Academics, Research, Industry

I feel it is all a matter of the way you put up things. Your total experience will be counted as 13 years only from 2000 to 2012 and that is what you need to express. Then you can say that I have additional experience of such and such things having worked part time besides my full time job. Such an explanation will be accepted by any interviewer but if you insist on being treated as a professional with 22 years’ experience, I think you are wrong. I am sure many of my friends have worked for 16 hours a day. Should they say that their one day should be counted as two days? There are many faculty members who simultaneously teach I more than one institution, should they say that each institution should be treated as separate experience and added up?

Subject: [MTC Global] Experience - Academics, Research, Industry

 

Dear All,

I would like to know how does education industry treat these experiences:

My details are as below.

                                                                     Experience

Industry    2000-2005    ( 2006-2010 part time)     6 years  ( 3 years part time)
I joined academics in 2005  .. till date-                8 years

Research  2007 - 2012  ( worked for an Agency)  5 years

Now am 34 years : so the question raised by higher heads is

" your total experience counts to 22 years ... (sarcastic smile) .. did you start working at age of 12 years ...."

I do have service / experience letters obtained as and then .. also references in places where i worked.

Though i tried to explain ... he was not convinced..

I still work on Saturdays and Sundays... if this does not count anywhere in academics , why do the so called management heads expect faculty to have industry exposure / interaction all time ...

Please do let me have your views which can help others who have such doubts.

Regards,

Geevarathna
