Hello fellow ATDers and instructional design professionals.
Perhaps we can get a conversation going about how instructional designers might transition from the higher education industry to a corporate training environment. A lot of the duties are responsibilities of the work are built on the same foundations, but there might be some stark differences.
- If you switched from one industry to the other, what did you find was similar?
- What did you find that was different or at least took some getting used to?
- In transitioning from one industry to another, did you have to start as a newbie, or were you able to leverage your experience to a lateral move?
Any advice on job searching and interview would be appreciated as well!
