When 🔍 searching 🔍 for an instructional design position, candidates must present their skills and experiences in a way that appeals to potential employers, often tailoring resumes 📄and portfolios 📁 to highlight specific skills or experiences. In a way, it’s just like the reality show The Circle, where contestants must showcase what they bring to the table to remain on the show! Additionally, job seekers must build 🤝relationships 🤝and create alliances to advance in “the game”, often relying on strategic communication. In job searching, 🔗networking 🔗 is crucial (as it is on the show, too); instructional designers often connect with peers, attend industry events, or engage with professional communities to build relationships that can lead to job opportunities. 🙌 Let’s continue to encourage and support one another while we search for employment. ⭕️ Won’t you join our circle? ⭕️ Lauren Warliga, CPOSP Dana Kocalis Larisa Marian Elise Breanna Martinez DeTonia Gooden, MBA Bethany Salutz Monet D.

Remote work and learning have redefined the way we live, but are we fully leveraging their potential to enrich our lives? As we build solutions at Phillips Technical Consulting to empower families and organizations, I keep coming back to a fundamental question: How can we evolve remote work and learning to not just fit into our lives, but to truly enhance them? For parents, remote learning means juggling work with education in ways that were unheard of just a few years ago. For companies, remote work brings flexibility, but it also requires a new approach to productivity, culture, and engagement. Imagine a future where remote environments are optimized not only for productivity but also for growth, innovation, and personal fulfillment. How are you balancing flexibility with productivity in your remote environment? What unique challenges are you seeing for families balancing work and education from home? And most importantly—what innovations or solutions have you seen that inspire you to think differently about remote work or learning? Let’s create a dialogue on what’s next for remote life. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts, experiences, and any ideas you have on shaping a future where work, learning, and life integrate seamlessly. #RemoteWork #RemoteLearning #WorkLifeBalance #WorkforceTransformation #FutureOfWork

📉 The headlines say public confidence in higher education is dropping, but there’s more to the story. While people question the cost, they still see incredible value in what higher ed offers. A recent report by New America shows that higher education remains one of the most powerful tools for socioeconomic mobility. It opens doors, transforms lives, and fuels innovation across industries. 🎓 What’s driving the drop in confidence? Affordability and access. We need to address these systemic issues to ensure education stays a cornerstone of personal and professional growth. 💡 I'm honored to help institutions find leaders who understand that higher education isn’t just about conferring degrees—it’s about creating opportunities and shaping futures. Would love to know your thoughts. #ValueOfEducation #HigherEdLeadership #StudentSuccess #Innovation #Impact #WittKieffer

Are your courses really engaging with students or just "pretending"? Are your faculty interacting with students or just posting content and disappearing? True online learning isn't independent study. We shouldn't leave students on their own with a "holler if you need me approach". Smart course design will build in engagement, interaction, and automatic excitement. Engaged students persist in a program and don't transfer. Keep that existing customer. Might want to take a look at your courses and faculty expectations. Just sayin... #highereducation #onlinelearning https://lnkd.in/g55HYpcB

It's back to school and almost time for fourth quarter for many of you. I've decided to do something I've never done before: 🚨 For the next month, I will be running a special on all instructional design projects! The economy has hit HR and Learning & Development departments hard across the country and that hasn't been the exception for my business either. I have struggled to keep my business afloat and to keep me and my kids going on savings and small projects here and there. It is scary being a single mom and a business owner. I love this business. I love getting to do instructional design. I love getting to create fun and interesting projects for people across the globe. 🔹 I am great at my job. 🔹 I was born to do this type of work. 🔹 I thrive when I'm swamped with design projects. 🔹 I am filled with joy when I get to collaborate with SMEs and stakeholders to build trainings for businesses that will make real differences in the lives of people I've never met in person. -- I can feel the ripples I make with those trainings. 🔹 I champion learners and experiences, behavior changes, and people. 🔹 I help organizations transform trainings, programs, learning departments, and whole learning cultures. 🔹 I love training in every single nerdy way you could possibly imagine. 😂 ___________ 💼 I would really love to get back to work, y'all. So, as an incentive I am offering discounted prices on instructional design services. I am choosing to be transparent (unheard of, I know) and I am posting prices and information in the carousel below. If your organization has a need for a freelance instructional designer at the moment or they are drowning in projects and need an extra hand, consider my services. ___________ Note: I will only lock in this rate if you book a project with me between August 16th through September 16th. Additionally, prices may be subject to change depending on the scale of the project. Reach out to me to discuss your specific project. I can provide a quote upon request. Everything is marked at a 30% discount at the moment. ____________ #freelance #instructionaldesigner #designerforhire #backtoschool #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness

Massive trends are impacting the higher ed landscape. More than ever ROI is coming into clear focus as families and students navigate their best options into the workforce. A degree is no more a guarentee of employment than a certificate. The real differentiating factors are the awareness, context and connectivity to the workforce. We forget most students know little about how business, organizations and the economy work. Schools that are thoughful about connecting the dots can truly deliver on this ROI challenge. Exploring Your Potential (EYP) was created to build confidence, self awareness, career and workforce readiness as well as the professional and soft skills that pave the path forward to any opportunity. I like to call what we do ROI insurance. Because with EYP students know what they want, understand their options, and how to present themselves as talent in the marketplace. Most importantly, they’re happier as they know how to pursue and work towards whatever motivates them most.
