The Tale of a Job Hunt

Allison Rossett

MARCH 19, 2012

This is the tale of a job hunt that I began in November, 2011. Even more time was spent searching for the ideal job openings and filling out the specialized online applications. Interview #1 was the initial recruiter screening, where it was revealed that this job would require 100% travel. On the trail to a new position.

Here’s what Alice wrote: We just finished a job search to find four Instructional Designers. Another thought is that perhaps candidates don’t take enough time to carefully read the specifics of a job posting. Let’s welcome guest blogger, Alice Cutter, who has been interviewing MANY IDs for positions in her firm.

In the 80s, I wrote a book about job aids. More recently, I wrote another, this one called Handbook for Job Aids and Performance Support. Ontuitive’s Bob Mosher kicked it off with a mighty bang, offering the jaw-dropping suggestion that we cast off training in favor of performance support. Like Bob, I am hooked on performance support.

Think about it as a channel to deliver dynamic, personalized, on the go job aids. Finally, results are measured in associates’ ability to do their jobs efficiently and ultimately in increased sales and customer loyalty, not necessarily in completing a conventional knowledge test. It’s not just another screen.

Doesn’t it sound like I did a good job? I prompted for reflection and urged application, and I pointed to relevant, accessible resources. I smiled and gesticulated through my web cam. I worked at it. Your guess is as good as mine. I do not know how my webinar went. Not a hint. It was impossible to tell.

I will graduate with a high GPA, then as Pink Floyd says “get a good job with more pay, and you’re okay.” Then it happens… maybe it’s my first website or the real checklist job aid that I can use at work. I am more interested in learning about Hasidic Jewish culture from my classmate. I work and pay my own bills. It makes me wonder.

In part, it’s my job. The futuristic videos within the MOOC included only white and heterosexual couples, leading me and others in the online community to wonder what other messages were being advanced or avoided in this class. Despite the disappointing aspects of the experience, I remain a MOOC fan.

You really did a great job when you got those award-winning exercise videos last year. Auntie, I love electronic gifts, especially anything that boosts my exercise, something like new ear buds or a gift card so I can pick music to listen to while I jog. I had my eye on the Polar heart rate monitor. Allison: Admit it.

Instructional Design: Something Old, Something New

Instructional designers make decisions based on data from many sources, including clients, job incumbents, the literature, work products, and error rates. The director urged me to consider his behavioral roots, to make sure that participants received lots of opportunities to practice because that’s how people learn.

And, you’ve done your analysis of the job skills involved. There might be an entire category of job performance that your analysis has missed: It’s what your master performers have – but it may not even be understandable to your “average” performers. Are you really focused on what’s most important for your company (or client)?
