 |
|
| Any tips on where to pick up some adjunct work? I've got seven years experience teaching business, law, poli sci, criminal justice at the graduate and undergraduate level. I don't want to get tied down to a three year contract like the hubby has done. |

The bad news is that adjunct work is normally for TEFL. Thus you will have to hustle a bit more to find a position.
You didn't give us any clue on what city you are in... I would think that the only possibilities would be colleges and universities in your area... and since you are there, you would just call/or arrive with CVs in hand. But... now is probably not the time as none of them have much of a clue what they will need until classes get going in Aug or September or whenever. The small private colleges might be the best chance.

| Thanks, VS. Hubby will be in Al Ain. I'm open to adjuncting in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, or Dubai. I don't want to get bored and am not exactly the desperate housewives/yenta type. I'll be teaching online for some US universities, but want to make sure my plate is full. |

Unless I'm incorrect, I think that the HCT has a 100 km rule...which is to say that if a teaching couple are teaching at schools at least 100 km distant from each other (or is it 150?) both can receive the housing benefit.
I think not, tho, if one is an adjunct...
...anybody?

| I really don't want to get tied down to a three year contract with anyone, though. If only one of us is obligated long-term, it's a lot easier to pay back the pro-rated expenses and move on if the lifestyle or employment conditions are subpar. |

Were you thinking of commuting to AD or DB daily? That would be a scary drive. If you are in Al-Ain, you should be able to find something with HCT or UAEU to fill in with your online work.
