Yesterday was just another day at my desk, deeply immersed in the intricacies of crafting an e-learning course for a client when suddenly, a notification broke my focus. It was a job alert from Fiverr, typically something I might overlook due to my busy schedule. However, this one was different. The title, “Moodle Developer Wanted: Build the Future of e-Learning for Ministry-Approved Schools,” instantly piqued my interest and promised an adventure into the world of educational technology—a world I’m passionate about.
As a seasoned eLearning Designer, I always keep an open mind about new opportunities, especially those that align with my passion for revolutionizing the educational landscape. The job description detailed a role that was not just about coding and designing but also about significantly impacting the education sector for ministry-approved schools. It was an invitation to be part of a dedicated team committed to transparency, accountability, and innovation.
“Imagine being at the forefront of transforming the educational journey for countless students.”

The job title immediately transported me back to my days with a tech start-up aimed at revolutionizing e-learning for underprivileged schools. The nostalgia of those sleepless nights, coding sessions, and the sheer joy of seeing our platform come to life and make a difference was overwhelming. It reminded me of why I embarked on this career path in the first place.
As I delved deeper into the job post, the responsibilities and qualifications listed were a perfect match for my skill set. From developing a robust enrollment key system to creating an engaging user interface for quizzes and tests, every task outlined was within my wheelhouse. Yet, it was the broader vision of the project that truly resonated with me—the chance to make a tangible difference in the education sector.
However, despite my initial excitement, I had to take a step back and consider a few critical factors. The financial aspect of the project was unclear, and as someone who values fair compensation for my expertise, this was a significant concern. Additionally, while my skills aligned well with the project requirements, I pondered if there were areas where I might need further development to truly excel in this role.
Review Conclusion
After much contemplation, I concluded that while the job posting was incredibly appealing, it wasn’t the right fit for me at this time. The uncertain financial details and the need for further skill enhancement in certain areas were decisive factors in my decision.
Response to the Hiring Manager
Despite my decision not to apply, I felt it was necessary to express my admiration for the project’s vision. In my response to the hiring manager, I highlighted my appreciation for their innovative approach to e-learning and my hope that our paths might cross in the future under different circumstances. It was a reminder that not every opportunity is meant to be pursued, but each one certainly adds a layer of experience and understanding to our professional journey.
“Dear Hiring Manager,
I’m thrilled to see innovative e-learning platforms, such as the one you’re building, championing the reshaping of educational technology. It’s clear that your project carries both an immense challenge and an opportunity to influence a crucial sector positively.
However, after careful consideration, I’ve decided not to apply for the Moodle Developer position at this time. My decision stems from my commitment to ensuring that I can fully meet – and exceed – a project’s expectations. I believe there are a few key areas in this project where I could benefit from further experience and learning.
In light of this, I feel it would be in both our best interests if I stepped aside to allow a developer with the precise expertise you need to step forward. I appreciate your understanding and truly hope that our paths cross again in the future when I can add greater value to your commendable vision.
Wishing you every success in finding the perfect fit for this role and in your mission to revolutionize e-learning for ministry-approved schools.
Best,
Adam”
