It is really good to see you have identified your interest with working in the administration department in the academic sector. Not many candidates actually narrow down their interest like you did, but are often found staying confused. I am glad you are clear with your career ambitions. Administration work in the academic sector often needs a person to be qualified with a general MBA degree or in particular the MBA with human resource management. Some colleges prefer recruiting candidates with MBA degree along with some years of work experience where as a few others are okay with freshers with the MBA degree alone.

Have you gained some work experience before in any administration department across any industry? If you have gained such work experience, it will be of a great help to you during your interview in the colleges.

The best way to start with is approaching colleges individually. Try creating a well written resume along with a cover letter and present it to the Registrar or the Administration officer (they often address this person as A.O) in person or by email or post. See if you are fortunate enough to meet them in person to hand in your resume. If you get an opportunity please make effective use of it as sometimes an interview could be conducted on spot for such administrative positions. You can also get the college email address for recruitment under the careers section from their website. Most of the colleges publish their vacancies in leading news papers across the country. The Hindu, Times of India, Deccan chronicle are well known for such job advertisements. Try looking at these papers every day to be able to find a suitable vacancy some where in your city.

The next best way is through the social networking site LinkedIn. LinkedIn is one of the best career networking websites and you will see almost many of the college collegues registered their profiles on this site. You will have to probably add these people to your connections in LinkedIn. Once you request to add them, they will add you and there on you will have the facility to email them. So try emailing the concerned person from the college as they will be aware of any recruitment coming up and could also refer you for the interview.

Apart from these the third best way is through job portals. Register your full profile with a resume, cover letter, good email address and a working telephone number. You can search jobs in administration particularly in colleges and apply directly to them. Alternatively, you will also find the list of recruiters who could find jobs in administration department in colleges. Find those recruiter profiles and request them to look out a job for you and the service is totally free. Recently, getting a job by approaching these recruiters on naukri, monster, times job, shine are better than just uploading your resume and waiting for someone to call.

Hope this helps. My best wishes to you.
