Show Your Teaching Spark and Portfolio Punch
ADMI is looking for a lecturer who can both design and teach. Your portfolio proves your craft, but your cover letter and interview must show you can break down complex design concepts for students.
1. Tailor your portfolio to teaching: Include student work or personal projects that show your process, not just final pieces. Explain your design decisions and how you would teach them.
2. Prepare a mini-lesson: Be ready to deliver a short teaching demo on a topic like color theory or typography. Show you can engage and explain clearly.
3. Highlight your software fluency: List your proficiency levels for Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Sketch. Mention any certifications or advanced training.
4. Show your industry experience: Emphasize real-world branding or product design projects. Explain how you can bring that practical insight into the classroom.
5. Understand ADMI's mission: Research ADMI's focus on digital media and Africa's creative economy. Align your teaching philosophy with their goal of shaping the digital generation.
6. Prepare for competency questions: Expect questions about handling diverse student skill levels, giving constructive feedback, and staying current with design trends.
7. Bring your CV to life: Use your cover letter to tell a story about a time you helped someone learn design. Show your passion for teaching.
8. Ask smart questions: In the interview, ask about class sizes, curriculum flexibility, and opportunities for professional development. This shows you are invested in the role.
