In this discussion, Holly provides advice on how to navigate job descriptions when applying for roles in instructional design or the learning and development (L&D) field. She emphasizes the importance of identifying the sector you want to work in, such as corporate, education, government, ed tech, or nonprofit. Holly also suggest that applicants should not be deterred if they don't meet 100% of the qualifications, as many companies are open to candidates who meet 60-70% of the criteria and are willing to learn. She also recommends using LinkedIn for job searches, but advises going directly to a company's website for the most up-to-date job postings. She also suggest using higheredjobs.com for those interested in transitioning from K-12 to higher education roles. The episodes concludes by encouraging applicants to leverage their existing LinkedIn network and to research potential employers thoroughly.
