Leslie Early joins me to talk about transitioning from K12 into Instructional design and how many of those skills we have as educators transfer to ID. We also share a big announcement!
My mentor and friend, Cara North, took the time to chat with me about what it is like to be a hiring manager and what hiring managers are looking for.
This week, I got the following question in an email from a recruiter, "What is your salary expectation?'' which sent me down a path to figure out what is the salary range for corporate ID as well as how to answer that question. Below are links to some of the resources I mentioned in the episode.

This week I got a rejection email that stalled my job searching efforts. In this episode, I talk about the Wall of Awful (link below) I built from that rejection email and what I did to tear some of those bricks down by re-writing my cover letter.

Hi Everyone, My name is Erica Zimmer and I am starting this new podcast called The Learning Journal from Teach to LXD to share my journey as I try to transition from K12 to Freelance ID. I have been wanting to take this leap for a long time and with COVID and the start of in-person school on the Horizon for the fall, I have been working harder than ever to make this transition. I will be sharing not only my successes by my failures as well. So I hope you join me on this journey, and hopefully, someday I’ll share with you that I did it.
