I am an Instructional Designer. Instructional designing is a very satisfying job as it involves knowledge across different domains. Language, learner psychology, marketeability, simplicity etc have to be kept in mind at each stage of instructional design. I would recommend instructional design as a career to people who have logical thinking, excellent presentation skills, impeccable command on language, and creative lateral thinking abilities. If I have to make the choice all over again, I would be more than happy to make the same career decisions all over again. Everyday at work poses a new challenge and teaches me something new. The excitement never gets dulled. However, I must add unlike some other professions the remuneration in this field is not so good. It takes long years of patient wait, to make it big in this field. Did you know that as an Instructional Designer your work will impact the way people go about their life? |

I am an Interpreter for the Deaf, working predominantly in higher education settings. I find this to be an extremely fulfilling and satisfying job, as well as one that pays well. I would choose this career again, but would work on receiving certification earlier in my career, rather than waiting until later, if I had it to do over again. One of the few drawbacks to this job is the repetitive damage to your hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, so an interpreter must take good care of him/herself physically, as well as take necessary breaks during interpretation. Many people may not realize that this job not only involves working with a second language (American Sign Language) but also involves understanding and working with a completely different culture--American Deaf culture--which in some ways varies a great deal from the culture of Americans who can hear. |

I am an an America Corps Vista (Volunteers in Service to America) at a Hispanic Community and Parent Resoruce Center in Philadelphia. The Center assists Hispanic parents in ensuring that their students who are in special education receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education and the necessary services and supports. I write grants, research funding streams, and network for the organization. I love being a Vista at this organization for the facts that I am working in an urban area, assisting people who live in poverty, learning Spanish, and writing grants. (Each Americorps Vista position is different, but the position is related to capacity building). Generally, Vistas receive education awards, noncopetitive fedral job application status, and the chance to better others' lives while learning job skills. There are drawbacks to being a Vista. First, since a Vista works to fight poverty, she/he might not be working in the best of neighboorhoods. Second, Vistas are only paid 10% above the poverty level. Finally, Vistas are not allowed to hold second jobs or attend more than one class at a time. |

A corporate trainer must be flexible, knowledgeable, outgoing and have strong customer service skills. Also, the person filling such a position needs to learn fast. You may be asked to teach something that you do not know well and therefore must pick up on it fast to successfully pass the knowledge on to others.
Training requires patience, diligence and the ability to work independently as well as with others. Training is not just getting in front of a group and lecturing. You much research, develop and incorporate activities for all learning styles.
Needs assesment is a large part of the job as well. A client may ask for one type of training, but the successful trainer will ask questions and get to the heart of the matter in order to recommend the most appropriate session. Don't just do what you are asked to do, it more than likely won't cure the ailment.
Don't forget about evaluation. How will you know your participants actually learned anything? Quizzes, activities, question & answer sessions are just the top of what you can do. Be creative. |
