The instructional design job market is getting crowded.

Whether you're trying to land a full-time job or freelance clients, it's tough to stand out. There's a lot to know and do to stay competitive, and keeping up with it all can feel overwhelming.

However, you don't want to settle for low-paying opportunitiesor, worse, spend years on the job market without success.

Through skill comes security.

People don't hire instructional designers because of years on a resume or fancy credentials. They hire instructional designers who can solve their problems.

When you have the right skillset, you can demand high salaries, attract freelance clients, and establish yourself in the field. You can solve real problems and get noticed for it, too.

When I first met Devlin, I was a tenured professor at a research university and felt trapped in my job. I wanted to transition into corporate instructional design, but I lacked the concrete, nuts-and-bolts knowledge of how to fill in my skill gaps, build a portfolio, and pitch myself in a job application.

With Devlin’s 1-on-1 support and guidance, I went in six months from never having heard of instructional design to landing an ID role at Amazon Web Services. So many exciting doors have opened for me, including career progression, geographic mobility, healthier work-life balance, and better pay.

Not too long ago, I had just quit teaching and was looking into opportunities in corporate L&D. It was a big career change, but after finding Devlin’s incredibly helpful online resources, I never doubted my ability to make the jump.

Even after transitioning to a great job in L&D with amazing growth opportunities, I continued learning with Devlin. His content is always engaging and insightful, and it has been instrumental in helping me now land yet another job as an ID at my favorite company in the world.
