    Show Your Reel and Teaching Spark

    For this role, your animation reel is your first interview. It must show both technical range and storytelling instinct. But remember, you're not just an animator—you're a lecturer, so your CV and cover letter should also hint at how you communicate and inspire.

    1. Curate a reel that teaches: Pick 3–5 pieces that show different techniques (e.g., character animation, motion graphics, 3D modeling). Add a short breakdown or commentary for each—this shows you can explain your process, a core teaching skill.

    2. Highlight software mastery: Be explicit about your proficiency level in After Effects, Blender, Maya, or Toon Boom. Mention any advanced features you use regularly, like rigging or particle systems.

    3. Show commercial or entertainment experience: If you've worked on adverts, films, or games, list them with your specific role. This proves you understand industry demands and can prepare students for real work.

    4. Prepare a mini-lesson: You may be asked to teach a sample class. Have a 10-minute lesson ready on a fundamental concept, like the 12 principles of animation, with a live demo or screen share.

    5. Talk about student projects: If you've mentored or taught before, describe a student project you're proud of and how you guided it. This shows your teaching philosophy in action.

    6. Know the local industry: Research Kenya's animation scene—studios, trends, and challenges. Mention how you'd connect students to local opportunities.

    7. Emphasize soft skills: Lecturers need patience, clarity, and empathy. Give examples of how you've explained complex ideas to beginners or handled difficult feedback.

    8. Ask smart questions: In the interview, ask about the curriculum, student demographics, and software available. This shows you're thinking about how to teach effectively in their context.
