Aspiring Professors,Today is Wednesday, and we're going to talk about something that comes up a lot. Or, to say it another way, this is a common mistake that people frequently and inadvertently overlook who want to become professors and online instructors but haven't thought that far ahead yet--unless they come from a sales, PR, or marketing background. And that is your online professional image. And more than that, how LinkedIn can help you find a teaching job.Welcome to the Adjunct Professor™ Podcast - Gary Smith 

I frequently get asked, what courses a new professor can teach. And, that's a great question—especially if you're new to higher ed. Moreover, if you've only taught a couple of courses, or you're an aspiring professor and future instructor, this episode is one you will want to index and save because it will absolutely benefit you--and  answer many of your most important questions. As I mentally travel back a few years to when I first thought about teaching--and those early  days when I began sending in applications for teaching positions, I had no idea what I was doing! Nevertheless, it's those experiences from that time in my life that inspired today's episode. And, I have it packed with all the things that I wish I knew then. - GaryP.S - I recorded this episode with a scratchy, sore throat. You'll probably notice it especially near the end as my voice was giving way, but  I'm not all that big on editing. So, it's real, it's raw, but most importantly it's content  that I hope with help you reach your teaching goals.

When I first began teaching, I only imagined teaching online courses. However, I quickly found out that I enjoyed multiple teaching formats. So, in this episode we're going to discuss all the options available to you—as well as the pros, cons, and perceptions because you too, might find that you develop an affinity for a more that one type of university teaching--once you try it and become more comfortable with it.Today we're discussing synchronous online teaching, asynchronous online teaching, in-person and on campus-teaching, and hybrid teaching. If you're new to academia, or are considering becoming an adjunct professor--you'll want to listen to this episode. 

This is the first episode in a series of weekly podcasts, created to help aspiring professors break into the industry.
