In this episode, I’m going over the software programs you must learn to be hired as a corporate instructional designer or eLearning developer. I’ll explain why job descriptions are often inaccurate, which tools are the most important to learn, and the supplementary programs that can make you more marketable.

- Discover which tools you need to know to be successful as a corporate ID and which to avoid
- Learn what video and graphics tools will make you more attractive to potential employers
