Hi, I’m Jill Davidian! I’m a 22 year veteran in the Instructional Design field (time flies!) I have worked with many Fortune 500 companies and other organizations like Chevron, Ally Financial, the United Nations, Hilton, Honeywell, ConocoPhillips, and more. I’ve done the work as a corporate ID and I’ve been a hiring manager who has hired countless IDs as well.
I am also the founder of Applied Instructional Design Academy, the premiere hands-on certification program for learning Instructional Design and e-Learning Development to transition into the ID field.
On the personal side, I’m a single mom to a teenage son, and an AVID traveler! I’ve been to 60+ countries on 6 continents.
I have also paid off $80k in consumer debt over the last few years and have been able to take care of my mom who battled cancer last year, which would have never been possible without the flexibility that this career provides.
I work with many recruiters and hiring managers on a weekly basis for both full-time and contract ID work and have an inside track as to what’s required to transition into the field. I have seen it all and am so passionate about bringing you my years of experience and insider knowledge so that you, too, can find your freedom in this field, whatever that looks like for you!
