    What is Entry-Level Anyway?

    Let’s set a baseline definition for what an entry-level, Instructional Design job looks like. Once we’ve established that, then we can manage our expectations for what it means to start new in the field, and what it takes to advance. Then, we will talk about why a job might ask for 2-3 years experience for an entry-level ID job. Then I’ll wrap things up with how to determine if you’re ready for an entry-level role or something else. Because really, it’s up to you to make that decision. Be well! I hope you are drinking water and getting the rest you deserve.  Show Notes Episode 201 Transcript Watch on YouTube Join us on Patreon for Exclusive Content!

    Episode 11 - The Art of Receiving Feedback

    Hey there new IDs. I have a confession. It’s getting increasingly difficult to produce and create these episodes. It’s not because of time, or resources. It’s because the world is on fire and it’s getting to me. I’m giving myself some grace this week and repurposing some content that originally aired on my youtube channel. As I mentioned last week, I’ll be wrapping up the first season of the podcast soon - most likely in the next two episodes. I’m already planning season two, so don’t worry - I’ll be back.  Questions, comments, concerns? email me at Thenewhereshow@gmail.com #blacklivesmatter

    Episode 10 - The Interview, Pt. 2 | I'm New Here: A Podcast for New Instructional Designers

    A couple episodes ago, I gave you three tips for approaching your Instructional Design Interview: To craft your instructional design philosophy to help you answer the question “tell me about yourself”; Using the STAR method to provide context for your behavioral interview responses, and to quantify your experience using data to back up your accomplishments. If you haven’t listened yet, you’ll definitely want to go back and stream that episode to catch you up to this one. Because this episode is a follow-up to Episode 9.  This episode focuses on one particular aspect of the interview process - when the interviewer turns the reigns over to you and asks “So do you have any questions for us?” Questions, Comments, Concerns? email thenewhereshow@gmail.com What do you want to hear next??
