1) Hold a Ph.D. (or at least a Master's degree, preferably with a couple of years of post-Master's coursework toward a Ph.D.)
2) Contact the department chairs in the department in which you specialize at area colleges and universities, including community colleges. You can do this via email, attaching your CV.
3) If they contact you, be prepared to come in for an interview, in which you might be asked to give a presentation on your academic area of study, or even to guest lecture in an ongoing course. Have several copies of sample syllabi as well.
4) If you are offered a job, be prepared to live on next to nothing, or to cobble together many adjunct positions at many area schools. Adjunct positions usually pay very poorly, include minimal benefits (if any), and place you on the lowest rung of the totem pole of academia. (That's why these positions are most often filled by current Ph.D. students who are just looking to get some teaching experience as they develop their CVs.)

I was an adjunct. I applied for the position at a college, and was hired because I fit their education requirements, which basically centered on a masters degree and a certain number of credit hours completed in the discipline I was going to teach.
I don't think there is any mystery to it, and there was no secret handshake to becoming an adjunct. the hiring process involved an interview, not unlike any other job, and the only difference was that it also included planning an delivering a model class to a group of students and faculty.

James is basically spectacular, yet in assessment to a temp company the place you artwork some months till now to procure finished-time status, adjunct artwork has a tendency to maintain you adjuncts except you're fortunate. finished-time is with the help of no skill computerized; there are over 3 hundred,000 adjuncts in California as of 5 years in the past; this is 75% of maximum community colleges and universities. .despite if or no longer you get finished-time has extra to do with gender and racial quotas than good comments, comments, or references.

Check websites of every college or university in your area. They will list openings if they anticipate them. Send your resume and cover letter. Remember that many departments are not sure until a week or two before classes start whether or not they need more people, so don't give up if you send out resumes and don't hear anything for months. Don't just apply for jobs in the field that your degree is in. Apply for anything that you have a reasonably decent background in.
