Job Titles:
Instructional Designer, Instructional Design Manager
View my profile on LinkedIn
​Why did you pursue a career in the instructional design and technology field?
I was interested in something more stable than my previous career, and that would reward my creativity and interest in psychology.

What are some of your day-to-day responsibilities in your roles?
It always changes with Instructional Design. Some companies are really into PowerPoint, some are really into Storyline, and some build things right in the LMS. So if you are doing production ID work you will be expected to match that modality. If you're not on production, or not JUST on production, then there are a lot of meetings, design documents, presentations, and instructional strategy that you need to work on.

How have you found your jobs? What advice do you have for someone trying to find a job in the instructional design and technology field?
  1. Talk to people and get to know people.
  2. Know the company you're applying to, what they expect, and how they will evaluate you.
  3. Sometimes you just gotta hit the pavement and apply to 50 jobs to get 1.
