You're increasingly becoming my fave ID content creator. It's refreshing to see someone so experienced and mature still be laid back and chill. This is THE confidence-boosting interview prep vid I've been looking for! Most of my imposter syndrome comes from only having one true ID experience and thus not rly knowing what to expect in the interviews. I'm taking notes from this vid, and practicing answering some, or all, of these with the STAR method which I hear is a sought-after formula. Thx for ur content. I turn to u when I wanna go on YT, but still feel productive..I also downloaded the free cheat sheet, thx for that!
Great video. I am a Senior ID at a Big 10 school. I totally agree with you that it's not about good looking or purely click heavy e-learning courses. Instructional design is much more than that.
This was a great video with some great questions. I've been interviewing casually up to now and have definitely stumbled over some of these questions. I have a first interview tomorrow that I'm quite interested in, so I'll be applying some of these tips, for sure. Thanks for the tips ;-)
For that one, I try to give an example of observed behaviors and/or metrics. For example, after the training, there was a 10% decrease in customer complaints. Ideally, you want to talk about measurable results vs. just "well, they gave us fives on the evals".
Thanks a lot for the details. I am a technical writer and would like to switch to ID role in future. Not sure though if my tech writing exp would be of much use in such kind of a role. What are your thoughts/suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Hi Priti, thanks for watching! Yes, writing is a large part of what an instructional designer does so I think your experience as a technical writer would be very beneficial. Examples include writing a design document, project summaries, job aids, support materials - there are all kinds of things that require good writing skills.
Hi Stephanie! Good luck on the interview! No, I can't say that I am familiar with that. Looks like something used in higher education (?) Is that something that is going to be part of your interview process?
@@yourlearningcareer yes! This position is located at a state college in Florida. Its basically developing and maintaining course content, syllabi and communications. I come from an elementary education background with a masters degree in curriculum and instruction and I just received my second masters in instructional system's.
@@stephzacharias Knowing that they will be asking about it, I would prepare by becoming familiar with it - I saw an example here: www.tamiu.edu/qm/about/qmrubric.shtml And then, I'd be prepared to explain how I'd use it to design a course. I'd have an example ready where I walk through a course topic and describe how I'd design using that rubric. Good luck!

Great info
But what DID you do to get SMEs to work with you even though they were too busy?
For me, the unresponsiveness is usually with email so I will schedule a meeting with them to go over and discuss what I need.
It was really helpfull Sir
Thank you!
How do you measure the success of a course?
For that one, I try to give an example of observed behaviors and/or metrics. For example, after the training, there was a 10% decrease in customer complaints. Ideally, you want to talk about measurable results vs. just "well, they gave us fives on the evals".
