Here’s what to expect from this episode:
If money or time has been holding you back from starting your instructional design transition, you are not alone. These are the two biggest barriers I hear about, and honestly, it’s a frustrating catch-22, you need a new job to make more money, but it feels like you need money and time you don’t have to get there.
In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what you can do when both cost and time are working against you, and how you can still build a portfolio sample that genuinely impresses hiring managers.
Topics covered:
- Why Storyline’s cost and learning curve can be a real barrier and what you can do instead
- Why Rise is the budget-friendly, time-friendly alternative that employers genuinely want to see
- How to actually create a high-quality sample within Rise’s 30-day free trial
- Why employers care just as much about Rise experience as Storyline experience
