This goes for the brick and morter university face to face jobs as well.<\/p>\n<p>I know the job market is highly competitive and that it takes time to find a job. I have been teaching at a community college in my town for the past 4 years and have some really good experience doing forensic work as well.<\/p>\n<p>However, I do not have any publications and I am wondering if this is holding me back. I have tried contacting heads of the departments directly to send them my vita, letter of interest, and letter of recommendation from the Chair of the department where I teach and of course also apply to the job postings. And nothing&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>What am I doing wrong or how can I improve?<\/p>\n<p>I am working on publishing but it will take some time.<\/p>\n<p>I am also worried that the brick and morter schools won&#8217;t want to hire me becuase my degree was earned online. However, my undergraduate and master&#8217;s were earned in the traditional classroom setting.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very frustrated and stuck and would appreciate some advice and feedback.
