Typically, by sharing information about your career experience you are establishing myself as an instructor of my areas of expertise and authority. It shows how students can relate to me & gives them sense of comfort of my experience on the subject that they’re learning. In my class, I constantly explain to my students of what’s going in terms of current industry standard, company’s expectations and level of professionalism that I have to go through each project. I also, mention to my students at the beginning of the course that, not only I’m doing for a living is associated with what they’re learning now, but I am also in charge of hiring at my current agency as well. Therefore, I know exactly what employers or companies are looking for and what they expect of recent graduated students. K. Boodparset
