Here’s are some of my insights
Analysis of the Job Post
From a preliminary analysis of the job post, it seems to be primarily focused on video editing for YouTube SEO tutorials. The desired skill set mentioned majorly revolves around proficiency in video editing software, attention to detail, knowledge of SEO best practices, and ability to work independently to meet deadlines.
Required skills:
- Proficiency in video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
- Excellent grasp of video editing techniques.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Knowledge of SEO best practices.
- Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.
Matching My Skills with the Job Requirements
As an eLearning Instructional Designer, I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects for video editing which matches with the job requirements. I also have a keen eye for details, which is essential for this role. However, the job description doesn’t involve utilizing other eLearning development tools like Articulate Storyline 360, Rise, Adobe Captivate, or AI tools like ChatGPT, GPTs, OpenAI, and others which I specialize in. The job does not mention the need for instructional design skills, course development, or eLearning-related tasks.
Conclusion
While I have some skillset that aligns with the job requirements, it’s important to consider the lack of requirement for my main expertise – eLearning Instructional Design with advanced tools and methodologies. Therefore, while I could potentially adapt to this role due to my video editing skills and attention to detail, the job listing is not an exact match for my specific skillset.
Next Steps
If I decide to bid on this project despite the mismatch, I would need to focus on showcasing my video editing skills and detailing my experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. However, I might also want to highlight how my eLearning background could provide additional value to their video content, perhaps through improved structuring and presentation of information.
