Here's how you can shine in a digital learning interview among other candidates.

Sometimes this may mean learning how to use a new authoring tool, or a new feature. You need to have a growth mindset. You are never too old to learn something new. It keeps you vital and engaged.

When you're talking about the tools, talk about what your passionate to do with them in the future for the company. For example, maybe you want to implement VR safety training for a production-based role.

- Try to impress the interviewer by making yourself memorable and identify situations you could talk about that match key requirements of the role or soft skills. - Show your enthusiasm by visiting the company's website, conducting a search on Google, and attempting to understand the current objectives, potential obstacles, and upcoming strategies. - Answer questions by providing the interviewer with short focused and innovative answers. - Try to connect to your interviewer by smiling, making eye contact, and showing your warm and friendly personality. - Assess whether the employer and position align with your goals, and consider how you can grow or adapt by taking notes, which will benefit you in the long run.

This very much depends on the organisation you are applying to and the position/role you are applying for. If you are looking to get a position with an education technology company and want to get into the sales/marketing side of things, it would appear you basically just need a cut-throat, ‘do whatever it takes’ approach to sales. If you are the type of person who can charm anyone, oozes confidence, wants to spend your break time chatting about your tesla investments, then you are highly likely to get hired. Just focus on the data, the numbers, the conversions and the sales first, answer questions later kind of perspective. If you wanna be an educator making a real difference in the ed-tech industry..erm..I guess..yeah..I don’t know..

Like any other professional and skilful person who has their toolbox, you should also be very well aware of your own toolkit. You toolkit should have authoring tool like storyline or captive, figma, camtasia and other related tools.

Engagement is key! I once shared how I spearheaded a virtual training project, highlighting my proactive communication with stakeholders and constant feedback loops with learners. Demonstrating active engagement through examples of leadership and collaboration can showcase your dedication and ability to drive successful outcomes in a digital learning environment.

By extensively researching the company's products or services, and their pain points; and being able to clearly articulate why your skill set meets their needs. Showing enthusiasm and a relatively deep understanding of the company and its learning projects.

Absolutely! When asked to revamp a training module on short notice, I quickly adapted by integrating multimedia elements and interactive quizzes, resulting in higher engagement rates. Highlighting your ability to pivot and maintain quality under pressure shows you can excel in dynamic environments.

Openness to change, and rapid adaptation, are definitely good points to communicate during your instructional design interview.

Be a digital candidate. Showcase yourself digitally with a web presence including any pre-made materials the panel has asked you to present (slide deck, etc). Include a QR or short link in the beginning to allow the panel to follow along. Hot take: this ensures you’re likely on their screen when they reopen their laptops later. Include a portfolio of digital projects. And be sure to address accessibility. A short video intro can be a great component as well, depending on time. Pro tip: I often include my resume and letters of recommendation on the site as well. Even thought they are typically part of the application packet, not everyone on the panel gets ample time to peruse them before fast and furious interview rounds.

For this always build your portfolio to showcase your talent and capabilities how you can actually solve problem for organization in real world scenario
