I'm a bit disheartened to hear that my experience is on the low side. Four years post masters working exclusively with adults in business and academic, I'd hoped, would make it the right time to start fishing! Not to mention two and a half years as an IELTS examiner (only because the HCT job description lists as a requirement the willingness to seek certification as an IE).


You are absolutely correct to think that. 4 years post master's experience is ideal.

It's possible to have 'too much' post master's experience, and lazy interviewers / sifters might dwell on that.

Like you should have a Ph D.

pfft! Laughing

No...that's why you asked about the UAE, right? Wink

From what you've said about yourself you should have a good chance of getting an interview.

Good luck.
