A few years ago when I was mulling around the idea of going for a PhD, a number of you have suggested that I look for an instructor type position instead. Well, I just spoke to a dept chair of a local college today and she wants me to send her a CV and letter of intent. I have no idea what to do or where to start. I clearly have no formal teaching experience or any kind of publications. I told her all that but she said that in order to formally apply, I need to submit something. So how do I buff up an academic CV and what the hell is letter of intent?
She did say that while they never hired someone without a masters before, I'd be the cheapest candidate with least demands (meaning I don't care about tenure or full time work). She also said that they have to officially advertise the job and she can't promise anything, and then proceeded to make plans for lunch in a couple of weeks to discuss this further. Not an interview but lunch. What does that mean?
