Job postings for corporate ID positions often include a laundry list of tools and software. As someone new to the field, it’s hard to know which programs are essential. Reading the job descriptions can be overwhelming, and you may think you’ll never be able to learn all of these programs. The good news is you don’t have to!

In this episode, I’m going over the software programs you must learn to be hired as a corporate instructional designer or eLearning developer. I’ll explain why job descriptions are often inaccurate, which tools are the most important to learn, and the supplementary programs that can make you more marketable.

Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  • Understand how to read job postings and determine which programs are relevant
  • Discover which tools you need to know to be successful as a corporate ID and which to avoid
  • Learn what video and graphics tools will make you more attractive to potential employers
