Instructional Design Hiring Manager Interview with Tara Coulson

What are people looking for when they hire instructional designers? What can you do to show off your experience in the best light and stand out from the competition? In this recorded Q&A session, we go live with Tara Coulson, a hiring manager at Amazon Web Services. She shares her insights about how she decides who to hire and what you can do to succeed in the job market. If you enjoyed the Q&A session that we did with Joe Stuben earlier in the year, then this session will be of particular interest to you. Tara is the woman who hired Joe, so she also tells us what he did to stand out as an academic with no formal ID experience.
