Moved from field lead to adjunct instructor last spring; a 10‑minute demo lesson using a small PEX manifold mockup and a relevant code citation sealed it. If you’re eyeing the ‘remote’ roles, confirm whether they still need occasional on‑site labs or proctoring — many do. Quick tip: keep a one‑pager with photos of a tricky repair and outcome; ‘show, don’t tell’ beats a resume.

When I applied, I attached a one‑page lesson plan (objectives + a quick exit ticket) and a 3‑minute video demo comparing press vs. braze — got callbacks without prior teaching. @peter_s89’s mockup tip pairs well with a code note like “IPC 2024 §605.5” and this free viewer: https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes/international-plumbing-code. Small caveat: some schools ask for NCCER instructor or OSHA‑10 first, so check before you hit submit.

@clara_82 good call — I landed an adjunct interview fast after uploading a single ‘lab day’ packet with a PEX manifold materials list and the simple rubric I’d use to grade brazed joints. Small caveat: they wouldn’t book the demo until I added my OSHA-10 card to the application.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‌‌‍​‌‌‌‌‌‍‍​‌‍⁠⁠‌​⁠‌​⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‍​⁠‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌⁠‍‌​⁠​‍‌⁠‌‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

What finally got me booked for two instructor interviews was a 5‑minute mock LMS module in Canvas showing my lab checklist and how I’d track attendance — both coordinators asked about LMS before anything else. If you don’t have LMS access, I still got a callback by sharing a Google Drive folder with a one‑page rubric and a 60‑second screencast of my grading flow, @sreynolds.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌​‍​‌‌‍‌​⁠​‌‌‌‌​‌‍⁠⁠‌‍‌​‌⁠‌‌‌‌‍‌‌⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‍​‌‌‌​​⁠​‌‌‌⁠⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I started getting callbacks after posting a 60-second feedback clip showing how I’d coach a student through diagnosing a no-hot single-handle valve and a short outline tied to NCCER modules; if you don’t have LMS access like @kwhite56, a simple Drive folder with a shop task tracker and sign-in sheet works just fine. No need to over-sweat it.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​⁠‌‌‍​​⁠‌​‌​​‍‌​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌⁠‍​‌‍⁠‌​‍⁠‌‌‌‍​‌​‍⁠‌‍⁠​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

But i got quicker bites after adding a tiny “lab safety + consumables plan” box to my resume and a link to a 3-photo demo rig album; coordinators want to see you can stage a lab, not just teach it. Small caveat: adjunct pay can be thin, so also scan JATC listings here: Training | United Association. Kind of like showing your tool bag before they hand you the keys.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍⁠‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​⁠‌⁠‌​‍⁠‌⁠‍‍‌‍‌⁠​⁠​‍​⁠‍​‌​⁠‍‌‌‍‌‌⁠‌​‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Applied within 24 hours with a 2‑week syllabus; remote replies fastest — “apply promptly” rings true; campus roles lagged.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​​‌‍‍‍​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌‌‌‍‌​‌⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌​⁠​‌⁠‍​‌‍‍‍‌​‌⁠‌‍‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‍​‌​⁠⁠‌​⁠‌‌⁠​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Quick win: building on @hgreen87, I put key certs right in the email subject — “Plumbing Instructor — ASSE 6010 Med Gas | Backflow | evenings open” — and got same-day screens; coordinators skim fast, so label it like a clean manifold. If you don’t have niche certs, lead with availability or “can start mid-term” and you’ll still pop.
