A week in the life of a corporate instructional designer

Spend a week with Nora.

A real week. The recital she leaves work for. The difficult subject-matter expert she has to coach. The sick kid on Friday. The hour of deep work that reminds her why she left the classroom. Drop in, feel what the rhythm is like, and see if it looks like the life you're trying to build.

\n \n \n

\n \n

About Nora

Nora Alvarez is 47. She has two kids: Marco (11, obsessed with soccer and Minecraft) and Zoe (8, third year of piano lessons, still occasionally overshooting the black keys). She's a single mom, divorced four years, coparents amicably enough. She spent more than twenty years teaching elementary school before leaving the classroom, spent a year retraining, and landed her first corporate ID role a year ago.

She lives in Willow Creek, a small Midwest town of about 32,000 people. Ninety minutes from the nearest airport. Two decent coffee shops, only one of which she likes. Her house is a 1940s bungalow she bought two years ago.

About the job

She's an Instructional Designer at Ridgewell Health, a regional healthcare network across parts of three states. Twelve outpatient clinics, three hospitals, about 4,000 employees. She designs training for nurses, medical assistants, and administrative staff: new system rollouts, compliance modules, onboarding, workflow changes, clinical education.

The L&D team is five people:

Angela Washington, director. Was an ID herself before moving into leadership. Married with three kids of her own.
Jeremy, junior ID, three months in.
Danielle, mid-level ID, focused on compliance and regulatory training.
Jesse, video and multimedia specialist. Quiet, brilliant editor.
Nora.

Everyone is fully remote. The team flies in three times a year. Otherwise, everything happens on Teams.

About the rhythm

Nora works a full 40-hour week. Her day starts with the 8:30 AM standup after drop-off and ends around 5:30 PM. Lunch is half an hour, give or take. School pickup at 2:55 is another break in the middle of the afternoon, not the end of her workday. Mornings are deep work at the desk in the spare bedroom she turned into an office. Afternoons move to the kitchen table, where the kids do homework across from her. Total: 8 hours worked, most days.

When something personal shifts hours out of the day (a recital, an appointment), she either makes them up on a specific evening later in the week or uses banked flex time. When a kid is sick, that's PTO or sick leave. A company benefit, not something she owes back.

That's the setup. Now spend a week with her.

Nora's take

\n\n

What this life changed for me

1. How I structure my day. I stopped pretending the work only counts if it happens in eight straight hours at a desk. My hours run 8:30 to 5:30, with a lunch break and a pickup break in the middle. Most days those run about 30 minutes each, but nobody is timing them. Some days lunch turns into 45 minutes or pickup runs long, and I make it up wherever it fits. The company doesn't care what shape the day takes as long as the deliverables land.

2. How life events land. A sick kid used to mean a scramble, a sub plan, and guilt for taking a day. Now it's a Slack, a laptop on the couch when I can, and PTO for the rest.

3. What my relationships look like. I see my colleagues on a screen. I see my kids after school. I have to work harder for the first, easier for the second. Both changed.

4. What the last year has brought me. The first few months were rebuilding my confidence after leaving the classroom. One year in, I'm already looking at options I never had as a teacher: part-time contract work while Marco is still at home, or a stretch of winter somewhere warmer once the kids are older. I don't have to decide any of it yet.

5. The unlearning. The classroom taught me I had to earn every minute of freedom. This job taught me the opposite. That's the biggest quiet shift, and it's still sinking in. A year in, some weeks it still catches me off guard.

\n\n

The real talk

Corporate ID lets you build a life that fits around you, and that's the real headline. You get treated like an adult, and your work gets recognized in a positive way instead of scrutinized. You own your day, life events don't have to derail your work, and the job scales in ways teaching doesn't. One module you build well can train thousands of people over years.

The learning curve: unlearning the surveillance you got used to as a teacher (the mouse-jiggling PTSD is real), figuring out how to broker feedback and coach reluctant SMEs without wearing yourself out, and getting comfortable saying \"training may not be the fix\" to people who came asking for training. Nora is a year in, and most of it already feels like her normal.

\n\n

This might not be for you if…

You need the classroom energy of being around people all day. Most of your week is heads-down solo work.
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do next. Nobody is checking in. That reads as freedom to some and freefall to others.
You'd struggle to push back on stakeholders. Saying \"training isn't the fix\" or brokering conflicting feedback is unavoidable.
You want to see the impact of your work right away. You build modules and often never watch a single person take them.

\"Tell Me About Yourself\" Story Lab

The First 90 Seconds of Every ID Interview

\n \n

\n\n \n

\n \n\n

Nail the first 90 seconds of your ID interview.

\"Tell me about yourself\" is the first question in almost every interview, and career changers get tripped up here. You either overshare your teaching background and lose them, or you undersell what actually makes you a strong ID candidate.

This lab helps you build a 90-second story that connects your past work, your pivot into ID, and where you're headed, so a hiring manager wants to keep asking questions.

\n\n

How it works

Answer 7 short questions, one at a time, in a conversation.
Get a first draft of your 90-second narrative.
See what a corporate L&D hiring manager would think, in plain English.
Revise up to 3 times until it lands.
Save it or copy it when you're done.

\n\n

Your work is saved on this browser as you go, so if you close the tab, you can come back to the same session on the same computer.

Want a decision point to be a LIVE conversation?

Instead of three scripted buttons, a decision point can be an open AI conversation: the learner talks with a character, and your course branches on how the conversation ENDS. Build that piece in the AIDA Scenario Studio, publish it, and embed its URL on that slide as a web object. This map plans the course; the Studio builds the conversation. They work together.

Resume Professional Summary Coach

For people moving into corporate instructional design

\n\n

\n\n \n

Build the summary at the top of your resume, the right way

The professional summary is the first thing a hiring manager reads. Most career-change advice tells you to open with \"former teacher transitioning into...\" That's exactly what gets you screened out. This coach helps you position yourself as a capable learning professional whose experience translates, without announcing the pivot in your prime real estate.

\n\n

A coach that keeps the words yours

This tool does not write your summary for you. You'll get building blocks to assemble yourself, or diagnostic feedback on a draft you already have.

Why: a summary that reads like it was generated gets flagged, by both applicant tracking systems and humans. The words have to be yours. The coach makes sure whatever you write positions you as competent and keeps the confessional stuff out.

\n\n

Give your target role, paste your resume, and answer a few quick questions.
No draft yet? Get building blocks for two angles to assemble your own summary from.
Already have a draft? Get diagnostic feedback: what's working, what to cut, what's missing.
Write your summary yourself, in your own words, using what the coach gives you.

\n\n

Heads up. Your answers save to this browser so you can come back and finish later. Same computer, same browser. This tool works on the live site at learningstrategyanddesign.com.

\n\n

\n \n \n

\n\n \n

About you

The more specific you are, the more specific your coaching will be. Paste your real resume text in full. A summary gives the coach less to work with.

\n\n \n

Do you already have a summary written?

This decides whether the coach gives you building blocks or feedback on your draft.

\n No, I'm starting from scratch. Give me building blocks to write my own.\n Yes, I have a draft. Give me feedback on what I wrote.\n

\n\n \n

What job title are you targeting?

The exact title you're applying for. The coach mirrors it where it fits.

\n \n

\n\n \n

Paste your full resume

Work history, education, certifications, skills. The coach only works from what's actually here, it never invents experience you don't have.

\n \n

\n\n \n

Your instructional design certification

If you have one or are working toward one. This is separate from whether you want it in the summary.

\n Completed\n In progress\n None\n

\n Is this the Applied Instructional Design Academy (AIDA)?\n

\n Yes, it's AIDA\n No, another program\n

\n How many months did it take? (optional, adds specificity)\n \n

\n\n \n

Want a certification line in your summary?

Your call. The coach never forces it in, even if you have one.

\n Yes, include it\n No, leave it out\n

\n\n \n

What tone are you going for?

Shape the voice to the industry you're targeting.

\n Direct and confident
Matter-of-fact (default)\n Warm and human
Softer word choice\n Formal and polished
Fuller sentences\n

\n\n \n

Anything you want to lead with? (optional)

One or two lines on what matters most to you here. Skip it if you're not sure.

Portfolio Write-Up and Pitch Coach

\n\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n\n

\n\n \n

Turn your portfolio sample into a hireable portfolio piece

You finished your sample. Now you need two things that get you interviews: a write-up on your portfolio site and a polished verbal pitch for when an interviewer says \"walk me through this.\"

\n\n

Who's giving you feedback

Throughout this tool, you'll get feedback from the perspective of an experienced hiring manager who hires Instructional Designers. That means they know ID language, they know what good design thinking sounds like, and they know what hiring managers actually look for in portfolio write-ups and interviews. They won't flag ID jargon (that's expected). They will flag teacher-speak, vague answers, missing rationale, and anything that doesn't sound like a working ID.

\n\n

Create your write-up. Nine sections, guided. You'll paste in work you already did (audience, problem, solution) and create fresh content for Highlights, Process, AI Use, and Evaluation with hiring manager feedback.
Practice your pitch. Five common interview questions about your sample. Speak your answer or type it. Get hiring manager critique on each one.
Save your work. Print or save the write-up to PDF. Copy your polished pitches into your interview prep doc.

\n\n

\n \n

\n\n \n

Tools Used

List the tools you used to build your sample. Keep it factual and comma-separated.

\n Your tools\n \n

\n\n \n

Audience

Pull this from your content map. Paste in the audience you defined when you planned your sample.

You already wrote this. No new thinking required. Go to your content map and copy the audience description into the field below.

\n Your audience\n \n

\n\n \n

Problem

The business problem your training solves. Pull this from your content map too.

Copy the problem statement straight from your content map. This is the \"why this training matters\" part. Hiring managers care about this a lot.

\n The problem\n \n

\n\n \n

Solution

The goal or measurable outcome of your training. From your content map.

This is the goal statement, ideally with a measurable target (reduce errors by X percent, increase compliance by Y, etc.). Paste it from your content map.

\n Your solution\n \n

\n\n \n

Highlights

The design moves you made. This is where you show the ID thinking behind the building.

What to include: the strategies you applied (scenario-based, chunking, spaced practice), any standout interactions in your build, and specific moves you made to enhance the learning experience for your learners.

\n \n

Example highlights (retail associate training)

Applied several design strategies to engage learners:

A branching scenario simulating a real customer complaint conversation, with different response paths depending on the choice the learner makes
Chunked the content into five-minute modules with logical sequencing
Knowledge checks with targeted feedback after every section
A downloadable job aid for quick reference during a shift

Interactions used: drag-and-drop sorting, click-to-reveal product details, the branching customer scenario, marker hotspots on a product display image, tabbed FAQ, slider for pricing tiers.

Use this as a structural reference. Create yours about your actual sample.

\n Your highlights (draft)\n \n

\n \n

Hiring manager feedback REVIEW

\n\n \n

Process

Walk through how you approached the project from analysis to delivery. Show the ID thinking behind what you built.

What to include: the analysis you would do (or did) before building, design document and storyboard work, the development tool, and the final deliverable format.

\n \n

Example process (retail associate training)

Before development, a needs analysis would be conducted with store managers and tenured associates to confirm training was the right solution and not a coaching or process issue. A scoping meeting with subject matter experts and operations leadership would define the scope and sequence and set clear, measurable learning objectives. A design document captured the blueprint, and a storyboard mapped out every interaction before development started.

During development, the storyboard was built out in Articulate Storyline with all approved interactions, voiceover, and assessments. The deliverable to the client was a SCORM-compliant package ready to load into their LMS.

Yours will look different depending on your actual sample. Use this for structure.

\n Your process (draft)\n \n

\n \n

Hiring manager feedback REVIEW

\n\n \n

AI Use

Explain if and how you used AI at any point while creating this sample. Being upfront about this is a strength. If you didn't use AI at all, just say so.

What to include: where in the process you used AI (research, drafting, storyboarding, script writing, images, etc.), what you asked it to do, and what you changed or added yourself. If you didn't use AI anywhere in the process, one sentence saying that is enough.

\n \n

Example AI use (retail associate training)

Used ChatGPT to brainstorm realistic customer complaint scenarios for the branching interaction, then rewrote the dialogue myself to match the tone and reading level of the audience. Used Claude to tighten the wording on knowledge-check feedback so it sounded encouraging rather than clinical. Built the storyboard, design document, and all final content myself.

If you didn't use AI, write something like: \"I didn't use AI for this sample. All research, writing, and design decisions were mine.\" Either way, this section gets used.

\n Your AI use (draft)\n \n

\n \n

Hiring manager feedback REVIEW

\n\n \n

Evaluation

How you would measure whether the training actually worked. This is where most career changers stop short and lose hiring managers.

What to include: Kirkpatrick levels if you used them (Level 2 is knowledge checks, Level 3 is on-the-job behavior change), how you'd collect the data, and who'd review it.

\n \n

Example evaluation (retail associate training)

Kirkpatrick Level 2 is measured throughout the course with scenario-based knowledge checks and a final pass-fail assessment that mirrors situations associates face on the floor. Learners must pass the final to complete the course.

Kirkpatrick Level 3 is measured on the job. Floor managers track behavior using a 60-day observation checklist, capturing whether associates apply the trained skills in real customer interactions. Results are reviewed monthly with the L&D team and used to identify whether additional support or refresher content is needed.

If you didn't deploy to real learners, write this as \"would be measured by.\" Hiring managers know it's a portfolio sample.

\n Your evaluation (draft)\n \n

Additional Deliverables

Link the supporting documents from your sample so hiring managers can see the depth of your work.

No writing needed here. On your portfolio page, add a section called Additional Deliverables with links to each of the supporting documents below. Make sure each link is set to \"Anyone with the link can view.\"

Sections to link:

Mock Interview

Practice defending one portfolio piece before a real hiring manager does.

Pick one eLearning module from your portfolio. Answer a few questions about it so the interviewer has context. Then get grilled with the questions ID hiring managers actually ask. When you're done, you'll get feedback on how you presented your work and where to tighten up.

\n\n

How this works

Fill out a short intake about one Storyline or Rise sample (about 5 minutes)
Answer 8 interview questions in a chat format (about 15 to 20 minutes)
Get a feedback report with a scorecard and 3 specific improvements
Save your report as a PDF to review later

\n\n

\n Heads up: the interviewer plays fair but pointed, the way real hiring managers do. Expect some pushback. That's the point. The more honest you are in the intake, the more useful the practice.\n

\n\n

\n \n

\n\n

Step 1 of 3

Tell the interviewer about your piece.

Answer honestly. The interviewer will use these answers to ask sharp, specific questions. Vague answers here mean generic questions later.

\n Length (minutes)\n \n

\n Format\n \n

\n\n

The business context

This is where interviews get real. Weak business context is the fastest way to lose an interview.

\n\n

\n Who's the audience? Role, seniority, industry.\n

e.g., \"New account executives at a B2B SaaS company, 0 to 6 months on the job\"

\n \n

\n\n

\n What business problem was this designed to solve?\n

Not the learning objective, the business problem. Ramp time? Compliance risk? Rework? Missed sales? Errors? What was hurting the business?

\n \n

\n\n

\n Was this a real project or portfolio-only?\n

\n Real work project\n Real client project\n Portfolio-only (made up)\n

\n\n

\n How did (or would) you measure whether this worked?\n

Real measures: reduced ramp time, higher pass rate, fewer support tickets, better test scores, decreased errors. If you're guessing, say what you'd measure and how.

\n \n

\n\n

Design choices

The interviewer will push hardest on the WHY. Be ready.

\n\n

\n Learning objectives (2 to 4)\n

Action verbs. What learners can do by the end.

\n \n

\n\n

\n Why this format? Why eLearning instead of a job aid, video, ILT, or coaching?\n \n

\n\n

\n What are 2 to 3 design choices you're most proud of or most want to talk about?\n

Interactions, scenario branches, layouts, navigation choices, visual design decisions. Be specific.

\n \n

\n\n

Process

Hiring managers care as much about how you work as what you built.

\n\n

\n How did you decide training was the right solution?\n

What did needs analysis look like? If this was portfolio-only, walk through what you'd have done.

\n \n

\n\n

\n How did you work with SMEs (or simulate that for a portfolio piece)?\n \n

The Corporate ID Portfolio Blueprint

\n\n

\n\n \n

1Start Here

Start here.

So, you're building your first ID portfolio and not sure exactly what needs to be in it?

If you want a corporate instructional design job, you need a portfolio. It's the first thing recruiters look at, and if it's missing or has the wrong things in it, you don't get the interview. I will be honest. That's how it works.

Most people building their first portfolio don't know what to include, put in the wrong things, or underestimate how much goes into each piece.

This tool walks you through all of it. What has to be in your portfolio. How to plan the build across 90 days. What each piece needs to look like to land you the job. Plus two downloadable templates you can use as you go.

A few things to know before you start

This is built for corporate ID. Not K-12. Not higher ed. Corporate learning, healthcare training, government and non-profit L&D. That world.
Work through it in order. Each section builds on the last.
You'll build a 90-day plan you can save and come back to.
The templates and checklist are yours to keep.

Ready? Let's start with what good actually looks like.

See what good looks like →

\n\n \n

2Examples

Before you build, see what you're building toward.

The fastest way to figure out what a strong ID portfolio looks like is to see one. Or a bunch of them.

Look at the portfolios of people who've already landed corporate ID jobs. Notice what kinds of samples they have. How they organized the site. What tools they used. What they wrote about themselves. What they left out.

Where to look

We have a website full of portfolios our students built. You'll see actual Rise samples, Storyline projects, design documents, storyboards, and job aids. All from real people who used these to get hired.

Browse student portfolios →

What to notice as you're looking

Variety. A strong portfolio has different types of samples, not four versions of the same thing.
Polish. The pieces look finished. No placeholders, no half-built samples.
Adult, professional topics. Not education-related. Not personal hobbies.
A clear \"about\" or bio that reads like a competent professional wrote it.

Once you've had a look, come back here. Next up: exactly what needs to be in yours.

3Portfolio Sample Overview

What has to be in your portfolio before you start applying.

Here's the minimum you need before you apply for corporate ID jobs. If any of these are missing, you're going to struggle to get an interview. I will be honest. Probably won't get one. These pieces are non-negotiable.

Required (before you apply)

1 Storyline sample
1 Rise sample
1 design document
1 storyboard
1 job aid

Nice to have (add after you're hired, or during the search if you have time)

A second Storyline sample. Shows variety, especially if the second one is an advanced interaction or microlearning.
An AI-related sample that shows you can use AI tools in the ID workflow.
Vyond video (if you take the elective badge)
Camtasia video (if you take the elective badge)
vILT slide deck and facilitator guide (if you take the elective badge)
Graphic design samples, in their own category, kept separate from your ID work
Real work samples from a previous job, scrubbed of the company name and any proprietary info, and only if you have permission

What NOT to include

This is where a lot of first portfolios go sideways. Do not put any of this in your portfolio:

K-12 or higher ed content. Not even PD you built for other teachers.
Personal hobbies or topics that aren't work-relevant.
Anything controversial. Politics, religion, hot-button social issues.
Photography as a separate category.
Placeholders. An empty spot makes the whole portfolio look unfinished.

Now that you know what needs to be in it, here's how to approach the build without trying to do everything at once.

How to approach the build →

\n\n \n

4How To Approach It

How to approach it without doing it all at once.

A full corporate portfolio is more than you can build in one stretch, so don't try. Think of this as your first 90 days. It won't get you all the way to the finish line, but it'll get you a real start, and a real start is what most people never manage.

Pick one of these two starting points, then work top to bottom. Give it 10 to 12 hours a week if you can. Less is okay, it just moves slower. What matters is that you protect the time and keep going.

\n\n

Starting point 1

Build your Storyline sample

The most demanding piece, and demanding enough to be its own project. If Storyline is the thing scaring you, start here and go in this order:

Plan and create your content map. Your planning document. Map out the topic, goal and business problem, audience, objectives, content, and sequence before you build. Grab the content map template from the resources below.
Learn beginning Storyline. Get comfortable with the basics of the tool first. You can't design for software you don't know yet.
Create your first draft. Get a rough version of the course out of your head and built in the tool.
Learn advanced Storyline. Pick up the advanced interactions and features that make a sample stand out.
Iterate, polish, QA, and publish. Refine it, run the checklist, then get it live with a short write-up of your process.

\n\n

Starting point 2

Build the other four pieces

Your Rise sample, design document, storyboard, and job aid. Four lighter pieces you can move through faster, then come back for Storyline. Work in this order:

Rise sample. Plan it with a content map the same way, then build it in the Rise free trial.
Design document. Build it after your sample, based on the same course. It's a pared-down version of your content map, in the format corporate teams actually use. Template below.
Storyboard. Also based on the sample you built, created after you know the tool. A clean, screen-by-screen map a reviewer can follow.
Job aid. A quick, polished win. One strong corporate job aid.

\n\n

Map it to your own calendar. Put these steps against your real weeks. Block out vacations and busy stretches up front so you're planning around real life, not pretending it away.

Building your Rise sample.

Rise is where a lot of career changers start with authoring tools because it's the more approachable of the two. Don't take that to mean easy. A strong Rise sample takes real planning and real thought before you ever open the software.

Here are the 9 steps to plan your Rise sample before you build. Work through these in order.

Planning your Rise sample

Choose your topic. Corporate topic, adult audience, work-relevant. Not education-related. Not controversial. Not a personal hobby.
Define your goal and business problem. What problem does this training solve for the business? What's the outcome?
Define your audience. Who is this for? What's their role, their context, their level?
Identify the actions needed to meet the goal. What does the learner have to be able to do by the end?
Write learning objectives. Action verbs, measurable, aligned to the actions.
Brainstorm and analyze source content. What do you already have or know? What do you need to research?
Chunk and sequence your content. Break it into logical groups. Order it so cognitive load stays manageable.
Create the performance-based assessment. How will you check that the learner can do the thing?
Create your content map. The full blueprint of the module before you touch Rise. Use the content map template in the resources below.

Once your plan is solid, then you open Rise.

What a strong Rise sample includes

A clear topic that fits corporate ID
Learning objectives you can actually measure
Interactive elements (not just a text scroll with a quiz at the end)
A knowledge check or performance-based assessment
Clean visual design that uses Rise's built-in style options well
A recognizable corporate use case (not a hobby, not a personal interest)

Where people get tripped up: Most first-time builders skip straight to step 9 (the content map) or worse, skip straight to Rise itself. Then they build something that looks okay on the surface but doesn't teach anyone anything. Recruiters spot that immediately. The planning steps aren't optional. They're how you build something that shows you actually know what you're doing.

If working through those 9 steps on your own is more than you want to figure out solo, the 30-Day Rise Sprint walks you through building your Rise sample with support. Same process, with guidance and feedback so you don't get stuck.

\n \n

See the Rise Sprint →

\n\n \n

Building your Storyline sample.

Storyline is where corporate IDs prove they can build the more complex, custom eLearning that companies actually pay for. It's PowerPoint on steroids, and it takes more skill to build well than Rise does.

The planning process is the same 9 steps as Rise (see the Rise tab). Same discipline: plan the whole thing before you open Storyline. Skipping the planning is the fastest way to build a Storyline sample that looks impressive on the surface and falls apart when a hiring manager clicks through it.

What a strong Storyline sample includes

Custom interactions (not just Rise-style block templates rebuilt in Storyline)
At least one advanced interaction: drag-and-drop, branching scenario, meaningful click-to-reveal, or a simulation
A knowledge check or performance-based assessment
Custom design (not the default template)
Voice-over or captions if audio is used. Accessibility is expected in corporate.

Where people get tripped up

Building something too simple. If your Storyline sample could have been done in Rise, you're missing the point of Storyline.
Building something too complicated. A branching scenario that goes 30 levels deep and never resolves isn't impressive, it's confusing.
Poor design. Clip art, default templates, mismatched fonts. This piece needs to look like something a company would actually deploy.
Not planning your sample out. Your Storyline sample should go through the same nine planning steps you used for Rise before you open Storyline. Skip that and a hiring manager can tell.

\n\n \n

Building your design document.

The design document is the strategic blueprint for a piece of learning: the business problem, the audience, the objectives, the approach. Corporate IDs write these constantly, and producing one proves you can think like an ID, not just build in a tool.

It looks a lot like your content map, so here's the difference. Your content map is the detailed planning document you built your sample from. The design document is a pared-down, higher-level version of it, and it's the format corporate teams actually use to align stakeholders. That's exactly why it makes a strong portfolio sample on its own: it's a real corporate artifact.

One note on timing: on the job the design document comes before the build, but for your portfolio, create it after, based on the Rise or Storyline sample you already built. Same course, no new project to invent, and you'll know it well enough to write the doc quickly.

What a strong design document includes

Project overview and background
The business problem and the goal of the training
Learner audience analysis
Learning objectives
Deliverables (what will be built, in what format, on what timeline)
High-level content outline
Assessment strategy
Success measures

Download the template

We have a design document template you can use. Same structure we teach inside Applied Instructional Design Academy, and it maps to what corporate hiring managers expect.

Download design document template (PDF)

Where people get tripped up

Making it too vague. A design doc that says \"the audience is employees\" and \"the goal is to teach them the process\" tells a hiring manager nothing.
Making it too long. It's a working document, not a novel. Focused beats comprehensive.

\n\n \n

Building your storyboard.

A storyboard maps a learning experience screen by screen: what the learner sees, hears, and does. It's a standalone portfolio sample that shows a hiring manager you can plan at that level of detail and that you understand the ID workflow.

Here's the part that sounds backwards: build your storyboard after you've learned the tool, not before. On the job, the storyboard comes first, because an experienced ID already knows the tool. But you can't design a storyboard for an authoring tool you've never used. You have to learn what it can actually do first, then you can map out a course that uses it well. Building your portfolio, you're learning the tool as you go, so the order flips. And like the design document, your storyboard can be based on the Rise or Storyline sample you already built. Same course, no new project to invent.

What a strong storyboard includes

Screen-by-screen layout (visual sketch or wireframe)
On-screen text
Narration or voice-over script
Interactions and what happens on click
Notes for the developer (or yourself, if you're building it)
References to the learning objectives each screen supports

Format: PowerPoint works. Word works. Some IDs use Miro or Figma. Pick something that reads clearly and looks like a real work artifact.

Where people get tripped up

Confusing the storyboard with the design document. Different levels of detail. The design doc is the strategy, the storyboard is the execution plan.
Skipping the interaction notes. If the storyboard doesn't show what the learner does on each screen, it's just a slide deck.
Making it visually messy. Corporate storyboards are professional artifacts, not sketchbook doodles.

\n\n \n

Building your job aid.

A job aid is a quick-reference document a learner uses at the moment of need. Not a training. Not a course. A single-page or short reference tool that helps someone do their job better right now.

Corporate IDs get asked to build these constantly. Including one in your portfolio shows you can design for real workplace performance, not just seat-time training.

What a strong job aid includes

Clear task or scenario the aid supports
Step-by-step instructions or a decision tree
Clean visual layout the reader can scan
Corporate design (not clip art, not a Google Doc with default fonts)
One page ideally, two at most

Format: PDF is standard. Some IDs build these in InDesign, Canva, or PowerPoint. Whatever tool you use, the output has to look like something a real company would print, hand out, or post on an intranet.

Where people get tripped up

Making it too long. A job aid is not a workbook.
Choosing a topic that's not job-relevant. This is for workplace performance, not personal use.
Skipping the visual design. A wall of text is not a job aid. Layout matters here as much as content.

7Take It Further

Would you like to take this further?

You've just seen everything that goes into a portfolio that gets you hired. If the Rise sample is the piece you'd rather not figure out alone, that's exactly what the 30-Day Rise Sprint is for.

It's a short, focused program where I walk you through building one strong Rise sample from start to finish. The kind that looks like a working ID made it, not someone brand new. In 30 days you go from a blank screen to a finished, published sample you can put straight in your portfolio.

Here's what you get

A 5-week guided path: plan and content map, build in Rise, get feedback, revise, then polish and publish
Live coaching calls twice a week for support, accountability, and getting unstuck
Expert feedback on your sample, with back-and-forth until it earns our stamp of approval
The Map Your Sprint planning tool and a day-by-day tracker so you always know your next step
An AI prompt pack for the full ID workflow
A community building their samples right alongside you
No expensive software required. The Rise free trial covers the whole thing.

By the end, the piece you were most worried about building on your own is done, and it's one a hiring manager will actually respect.

\n\n

Pitch Your First Project

Land your first instructional design project, volunteer or paid, without a portfolio full of experience. Pick where you are, and get customized help for that exact step.

\n\n

\n\n \n

Where are you right now?

Pick the option that sounds most like you. You can always come back and choose another one.

\n\n

\n \n\n \n\n \n

\n\n \n

\n \n\n

Find your first opportunity

Two ways to identify a target to pitch when you don't have one yet. Direct outreach to an org you've spotted, or someone already in your network.

\n\n

\n Before you scroll\n Pick one nonprofit or organization you'd actually care about. Motivation matters more than the perfect project. A cause you're excited about carries you through the hard part.\n

\n\n

\n Path 1\n

Direct outreach to nonprofits and organizations

Not centralized, but often the best portfolio pieces. Pick a target and pitch them directly.

\n\n

Good direct-outreach targets

Local nonprofits whose cause matters to you (search \"nonprofits + your city\")
Small museums and historical societies (they usually need docent training or tour scripts)
Nonprofits with a volunteer program (they almost always need better onboarding materials)
Open source projects that need training or user documentation
Your current employer, if you're still in a job (tell your supervisor you're transitioning, ask what training projects you could take on)

\n\n

\n Ready to pitch one?\n Once you have a target in mind, click \"Back to options\" and pick \"I have a target and need to pitch.\" The tool will help you write the outreach email.\n

\n\n

\n Path 2\n

Your warm network

Every source says this is the strongest way to find real work. Family, friends, former coworkers.

\n\n

Where to look in your network

Friends or family who own a business (they almost always have a training or onboarding gap)
Former coworkers, especially in HR, L&D, or people-manager roles
Coaches, course creators, or consultants you know (they need help turning content into structured learning and rarely think to hire \"an ID\")
Your kids' school, sports team, or community group if you have an in there

\n\n

How to pick a good target (in any path)

They have a training-shaped hole. Onboarding that doesn't exist, an outdated course, a compliance training everyone complains about.
They can decide fast. One decision-maker is easier than a committee.
You care about what they do. This gets you through the messy middle.
The project fits your bandwidth. Think a 5 to 10 minute module, or a single job aid. A full 60-minute course is too big for a first project.

\n\n

\n \n \n \n

\n\n \n

\n \n\n

Write your pitch

Answer a few short questions about your target and the angle you've spotted. The tool will draft a pitch email tailored to what you've told it, built from your details start to finish.

\n\n

\n Step 1\n

Volunteer or paid?

This changes the framing of the pitch. Volunteer leads with mission fit. Paid leads with the value you deliver.

\n \n \n \n

\n\n

\n Step 2\n

Who are you pitching?

\n Organization or person's name *\n \n

\n What kind of target is this? *\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n What do they do? (One or two sentences)\n \n

\n\n

\n Step 3\n

The angle

The best pitches name a specific problem you can solve. Offering broad \"instructional design services\" is easy to ignore. What have you spotted?

\n What training-shaped hole did you spot? *\n \n

If you're not sure yet, look at their website, their volunteer page, their FAQs, or a job listing they've posted. The gap is usually there.

\n\n

\n Step 4\n

What can you deliver?

Scope this SMALL. A 5 to 10 minute module, a job aid, or a short guide is enough. Full courses are the wrong ask.

\n What specifically would you build for them? *\n \n

\n How long will it take you?\n \n

\n\n

\n Step 5\n

About you (briefly)

Two sentences on your background. This makes the pitch personal, so it doesn't read like a form letter.

\n Your background *\n \n

\n Your name and how they can reach you\n \n

\n\n \n

\n\n

Writing your pitch email

This can take up to 30 seconds. Hang tight.

\n\n

Your pitch email

Review it, tweak it to sound like you, then send. Short and specific beats long and polished.

\n\n

\n Draft Pitch Email\n

\n\n

\n Before you send\n Read it out loud. If a sentence sounds like a corporate pitch deck, rewrite it in your own words. Send from your regular email. Skip the business address. Follow up once after 5 business days if you don't hear back.\n

\n\n

\n \n \n \n

\n\n

\n \n \n

\n\n \n

\n \n\n

They said yes. Now what?

Two things happen here. First, download the scoping worksheet and walk through it with your client at your kickoff conversation. Once you know what you're building, come back and the tool will draft the agreement email you send now and the closeout email you'll send when the project wraps.

\n\n

\n Step 0 · Before you fill anything out\n

Scoping worksheet

A 12-section worksheet to walk through with your client at kickoff. Covers the deliverables, timeline, review process, payment terms, scope changes, portfolio permissions. Save it, print it, take notes on it, share it back.

\n \n

\n\n

\n Step 1\n

Volunteer or paid?

\n \n \n

\n\n

\n Step 2\n

The client and the project

\n Client name *\n \n

\n Your main point of contact\n \n

\n What was agreed to? *\n \n

Write down what was actually agreed to. Leave out what you hope to build. Specifics only.

\n Timeline *\n \n

\n If paid, what's the fee?\n \n

\n\n

\n Step 3\n

Your name (for the agreement)

\n Your name and email *\n \n

\n\n \n

\n\n

Drafting your emails

Agreement email and closeout email. Up to 30 seconds.

\n\n

Your launch kit

Two emails. Send the agreement now to confirm scope in writing. Save the closeout email for when the project wraps.

\n\n

\n Piece 1\n Agreement email (send this now)\n

Sends the agreed scope back in writing so nobody's guessing. It's a simple paper trail, and it doesn't need to be a legal contract.

\n\n

\n Piece 2\n Closeout email (save for later)\n

Send this when the project wraps. The three asks that most new IDs forget: portfolio permission, a written testimonial, and a referral.

\n\n

\n Two rules for the next four weeks\n Deliver faster than they expect. And say no to anything that shows up outside the agreed scope. Scope creep is what turns a 4-week project into a 6-month one.\n

Scenario 01

LinkedIn Cold Message

You found an ID professional you want to connect with. You've never met. Here's how to reach out without sounding like a bot or a desperate job seeker.

Platform:

Reaching out to an ID at your target company

You want to learn about their experience there

▾

Tone:

Script

Hi [Name], I came across your profile while researching roles at [Company] and was really impressed by your background in instructional design. I'm currently transitioning into ID from [your background] and would love to connect. No ask right now, just building my network with people doing work I admire. Hope that's okay!

✗ Don't

\"Hi [Name], I'm an aspiring instructional designer looking to break into the field. I would love to pick your brain about how you got started and any advice you might have for someone like me who is trying to make a career transition. Please let me know if you'd be open to chatting sometime!\"

Why it fails: Way too long. \"Pick your brain\" is a red flag. \"Someone like me\" sounds self-pitying. Ends with a vague ask that's easy to ignore.

✓ Do

\"Hi [Name], I came across your profile while researching [Company] and loved your ID background. I'm transitioning from teaching and would love to connect. No ask, just building my network with people doing work I admire!\"

Why it works: Specific, short, low pressure. They know exactly who you are and what you want in three seconds.

Pro Tip

Keep it under 4 sentences. Mention something specific about THEM. \"No ask right now\" lowers their guard and ironically makes them more likely to respond.

Connecting after seeing their content

They posted something that resonated with you

▾

Tone:

Script

Hi [Name], your post about [topic] stopped my scroll. That point about [specific thing they said] was exactly what I needed to hear this week. I'm an aspiring ID transitioning from [background] and I've been following your work. Would love to connect!

✗ Don't

\"I loved your post! So inspiring. You really know your stuff. I'm also interested in instructional design and would love to connect and learn from you!\"

Why it fails: Generic flattery with zero specifics. Could have been sent to anyone. They know you didn't actually read it.

✓ Do

\"Your point about ADDIE being a starting point, not a rulebook, stopped my scroll. I'm transitioning from HR into ID and that reframe was exactly what I needed. Would love to connect!\"

Why it works: Quotes something specific. Shows you actually thought about it. Personal without being weird.

Pro Tip

Be specific. \"I loved your post\" means nothing. Referencing the actual idea shows you read it, and that makes all the difference.

Personalize It

Fill in a few details and get a version that actually sounds like you.

Your Name

Your Background

Their Name

What caught your eye about them

Writing your message...

Your Personalized Script

\n\n \n

Scenario 02

Info Interview Ask

You want to learn about someone's ID career. Two ways to ask: 1-2 specific questions over message (lower friction, works with almost anyone) or a 30-minute call (higher value when it happens, but not everyone has time for it). Neither one is the \"real\" ask, pick whichever fits how well you know them.

Asking 1-2 questions directly (no call)

Lower friction, a good default for most people

▾

Script

Hi [Name], thanks for connecting! I'm working toward my first ID role and had a specific question: [your specific question]? No need to jump on a call, whenever you get a chance to reply is great.

✗ Don't

\"Hi! I'd love to pick your brain sometime, whenever works for you!\"

Why it fails: No actual question. This is just as much an open-ended time drain as a vague call request, it just doesn't look like one.

✓ Do

\"Had a specific question: how did you make the jump from teaching into your first ID role? No need for a call, whenever you get a chance to answer is great.\"

Why it works: One real question. No calendar coordination required. Easy to answer between meetings.

Pro Tip

Most people who won't get on a call will still answer one good question over message. Try this first with people you don't know well yet, it works at least as well as asking for a call, sometimes better, since there's nothing on their calendar to protect.

Asking via LinkedIn after connecting

You're already connected, now you want a chat

▾

Script

Hi [Name], thanks so much for connecting! I'm actively working toward my first ID role and I'd love to learn from someone already doing the work. Would you be open to a 30-minute virtual coffee chat? I'll come prepared with specific questions. Totally no pressure if the timing isn't right.

✗ Don't

\"Hi! I would love to pick your brain about how you got into ID. Do you have time to chat? It would mean so much to me. I'm really trying to make this transition work.\"

Why it fails: \"Pick your brain\" is exhausting. The emotional appeal puts pressure on them. No time frame. Sounds desperate.

✓ Do

\"Would you be open to a 30-minute virtual chat? I'll come with 3-4 specific questions, no pressure if the timing isn't right!\"

Why it works: Specific time. Specific number of questions. Clear out if they're busy. No guilt trip.

Pro Tip

30 minutes is the standard ask for an informational interview, people are more open to it than you'd think. If you want something lower-friction for a first touch, 15-20 minutes works too. Either way, \"I'll come prepared\" signals you respect their time.

Asking via email cold

You found their contact on their portfolio or site

▾

Script

Subject: Quick question from an aspiring ID\n\nHi [Name], I found your portfolio while researching IDs in [industry] and was genuinely impressed by [specific project or detail]. I'm transitioning into instructional design from [background] and would love to ask you 3-4 questions about your journey. Would a 30-minute call work for you sometime in the next few weeks?

Pro Tip

Say \"3-4 questions\" not \"pick your brain.\" People know that phrase means an open-ended time drain. Specific always beats vague.

Scenario 03

Following Up

You met someone at a virtual event, LinkedIn Live, or a Facebook group. Here's how to turn a brief interaction into an actual connection.

After a virtual event or webinar

You were both in the same session

▾

Script

Hi [Name], I was in [event name] today and saw your comment about [specific thing they said]. That really resonated with me. I'm making a similar transition from [background] into ID. Wanted to connect while it was fresh. Hope to cross paths again in the community!

✗ Don't

\"Hi! I think we were both in that webinar earlier. Anyway, I'm transitioning into ID and thought it would be nice to connect with others in the field!\"

Why it fails: \"I think\" signals you weren't paying attention. \"Anyway\" is dismissive. Nothing about THEM.

✓ Do

\"I was in the ID Insider webinar and your comment about not waiting until your portfolio is perfect really hit home. Transitioning from K-12 into ID. Wanted to connect while it was fresh!\"

Why it works: Names the event. References what they said. Shows you were actually paying attention.

Pro Tip

Send this within 24 hours. The longer you wait, the colder it gets. Reference something specific so they know you weren't mass-connecting.

After someone commented on YOUR post

They engaged with you first, now follow through

▾

Script

Hi [Name], thanks so much for your comment on my post. Your point about [what they said] was spot on and added something I hadn't thought about. I checked out your profile and love what you're doing in [their area]. Would love to stay connected!

Pro Tip

When someone comments on your post, you already have a warm connection. A quick DM turns a comment into a real relationship. Don't let it go cold.

Personalize It

Tell me about the situation and I'll write a follow-up that feels natural.

Scenario 04

Asking for a Referral

This is someone you actually know. Asking for a referral doesn't have to feel transactional. Here's how to do it right.

Asking a former colleague at your target company

You have a real relationship with them

▾

Script

Hey [Name]! Hope you're doing well. I've been thinking about you. I'm actively looking for my first ID role and noticed [Company] is hiring. I know it's a big ask, but if you feel comfortable, would you be willing to refer me or put me in touch with the right person? I have my portfolio ready and I'll make it as easy as possible for you. No pressure at all if it's not a good fit!

✗ Don't

\"Hey, I saw [Company] is hiring. Can you refer me? Here's my resume. Let me know ASAP since I think the deadline is soon.\"

Why it fails: No warm-up. No acknowledgment that this is a big ask. The urgency adds pressure. Purely transactional.

✓ Do

\"I'll make it easy for you. Here's a short blurb you can forward, plus my portfolio link, all ready to paste. If it doesn't feel right, no worries at all!\"

Why it works: Doing the work for them dramatically increases the chance they say yes. Removing friction is the secret.

Pro Tip

\"I'll make it easy for you\" is the magic phrase. Write the blurb they'd forward. Give them your portfolio link ready to paste. Lower their effort and they're far more likely to follow through.

Asking an AIDA cohort member who landed a job

A peer who made it before you did

▾

Script

Hey [Name], I saw you landed at [Company], that's amazing, congrats! I'm still in the job search and wondering if you'd be open to a quick chat about what the process was like there. And if it's a good culture fit, would you feel comfortable passing my name along? I'll send my portfolio link so you have it handy.

Pro Tip

Start with genuine congratulations. Ask about the company first, THEN the referral. That way it feels like a conversation. Jumping straight to the ask feels like a transaction.

Personalize It

Tell me about your situation and I'll write a referral ask that doesn't feel awkward.

Scenario 05

Sharing Your Portfolio

Your portfolio is your superpower. Here's how to put it in front of people without it feeling like you're just blasting a link.

Sharing in a LinkedIn post

Announcing it to your whole network

▾

Script

Six months ago I was a [previous role] with zero instructional design experience. Today I just finished my ID portfolio.\n\nIt has [X projects] including [brief description of 1-2 standout pieces].\n\nI'm actively looking for my first ID role and would love any feedback, connections, or introductions. Link in the comments.\n\n[Tag 2-3 people who supported your journey]

✗ Don't

\"Excited to share that I've been working really hard on my instructional design portfolio! It was a journey but I'm so proud of it. Please check it out at [link] and let me know what you think! #instructionaldesign #elearning\"

Why it fails: Vague. No specifics. Link in the post kills reach. Nothing makes you stop and read.

✓ Do

\"Six months ago I was teaching 8th grade math. Today I have a portfolio with 3 ID projects, including a branching scenario I built in Storyline. Actively looking for ID roles. Link in comments.\"

Why it works: Clear before/after. Specific details. Link in comments for better reach. Direct and confident.

Pro Tip

Put the link in the COMMENTS and keep it out of the post itself. LinkedIn buries posts with external links. You'll get significantly more reach this way.

Sending it directly in a DM

Sharing with someone relevant in your network

▾

Script

I wanted to share my portfolio with you since we've been connecting around the ID job search. Here's the link: [URL]. The project I'm most proud of is [project name] because [one sentence why]. Would love your honest thoughts if you have 5 minutes!

Pro Tip

Always highlight ONE project and save the rest for later. \"Here's my portfolio\" is easy to ignore. \"Here's the project I'm most proud of and why\" makes them curious.

Personalize It

Tell me about your portfolio and I'll write a post or message that gets attention.

Scenario 06

When They Ghost You

They said they'd love to chat, then nothing. One more reach-out is completely okay. Here's how to do it gracefully.

Following up on an unanswered message

They never replied to your first outreach

▾

Script

Hi [Name], I know inboxes get busy, just wanted to bump this up in case it got buried. Happy to work around your schedule if you're open to connecting. If the timing isn't right, no worries at all. I appreciate you being part of my network either way!

✗ Don't

\"Hi again, I reached out a while back and haven't heard from you. I was just wondering if you had a chance to see my message? I totally understand if you're busy. No worries if not!\"

Why it fails: Apologetic from the start. Repeating \"no worries\" signals anxiety. The whole message makes you sound like you're shrinking.

✓ Do

\"Just bumping this up in case it got buried, happy to work around your schedule. No pressure either way!\"

Why it works: Short. Assumes the best (a busy inbox, a buried message). Confident but not pushy.

Pro Tip

Wait 5-7 days before following up. One follow-up is professional. Two is pushy. After the second message, move on to the next person.

They agreed to chat but went quiet

They said yes, then disappeared

▾

Script

Hi [Name], I know life gets hectic! I still would love to connect if you have 30 minutes. Here are a couple of times that work for me: [Time 1] or [Time 2]. If those don't work, just let me know what does and I'll make it happen!

Pro Tip

Give two specific time options instead of \"what works for you?\" Open-ended scheduling creates friction. Specific times are easy to say yes or no to.

Personalize It

Tell me what happened and I'll write a follow-up that's confident, with zero desperation in it.

💀 The Message Graveyard

These messages didn't make it, and the reasons were rarely outrageous. It's the small, common mistakes that get people every time. Read each one, learn what went wrong, and make sure you never send anything like it.

💀The Novel Nobody Asked ForLinkedIn DM

\"Hi Jennifer! I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ashley and I came across your profile while browsing LinkedIn today. I noticed that you work as an Instructional Designer at Bright Learning Solutions and I thought it would be wonderful to connect with you. I am currently in the process of transitioning my career from K-12 education into the instructional design field and I am really excited about the possibilities. I have always been passionate about how people learn and I think my teaching background gives me a really strong foundation. I would love to hear more about your experience and perhaps get some advice on how to break into the field if you ever have the time. No rush of course! I know you must be very busy. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!\"

What Killed It

Way too long. LinkedIn DMs should be 3-4 sentences max. This required real effort to read, and most people won't.

Zero specifics about Jennifer. Nothing shows Ashley actually looked at her profile. Could have been sent to literally anyone.

\"Get some advice\" is vague and open-ended. Jennifer doesn't know what she's agreeing to. Vague asks get ignored.

Over-apologizing throughout. \"No rush,\" \"I know you must be very busy,\" \"thank you so much,\" all of it signals low confidence and makes the reader feel guilty before they've done anything.

The Fix

Cut it to 3 sentences. Reference something specific about Jennifer's work. Make one clear, low-pressure ask with a time frame.

\n\n

💀The Job Application Disguised as NetworkingLinkedIn DM

\"Hi Marcus, I saw that your company is hiring for an Instructional Designer role. I am very interested in this position and I think my background in training and curriculum development would be a great fit. I have attached my resume and portfolio for your review. Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me. I look forward to hearing from you!\"

What Killed It

This is not networking. It's a cold job application. Marcus didn't post a job. He's an ID professional. This puts him in an uncomfortable position he didn't sign up for.

No relationship was built first. Skipping the connection step and going straight to \"hire me\" almost never works and often burns the bridge completely.

Nothing about Marcus as a person. No acknowledgment of his work, career, or perspective. Entirely self-focused.

The Fix

Connect first, ask second. Build a genuine relationship before anything job-related. Even one or two exchanges changes the entire dynamic.

\n\n

💀The Guilt Trip Follow-UpFollow-Up Message

\"Hi Priya, I just wanted to follow up on my message from last week since I hadn't heard back. I completely understand if you're busy. I know everyone has a lot going on. I just really wanted to connect because your career is so inspiring to me and it would mean the world to get even 10 minutes of your time. I hope I didn't do anything wrong in my first message! Let me know either way so I know where I stand.\"

What Killed It

\"It would mean the world.\" Emotional pressure in a professional networking message doesn't move the reader. It makes them uncomfortable and shifts the burden onto them.

\"I hope I didn't do anything wrong.\" This signals insecurity and draws attention to the possibility something was off. Never apologize for reaching out.

\"Let me know either way so I know where I stand.\" This forces them to officially reject you. People avoid uncomfortable conversations, so they just ignore this instead.

The Fix

A confident follow-up is short, assumes the best, and gives them an easy out without drama. \"Just bumping this up, no pressure either way!\" is all you need.
