Yesterday, as I delved deep into the complexities of designing an eLearning course, a beacon of opportunity flashed across my screen, momentarily pulling me away from my intense focus. It was a job posting on Fiverr titled, “Create Engaging Online Courses Utilizing LMS & Authoring Tools – Instructional Designer Wanted.” Amidst a day characterized by meticulous course design and looming deadlines, this unexpected discovery was like a gust of fresh air. It promised a new adventure, a chance to apply my passion and expertise in a new context.
The job posting was from an educational company in dire need of an experienced Instructional Designer to craft an online course from the ground up. They were looking for someone who could not only handle content editing but also effectively utilize various Learning Management Systems (LMS) and authoring tools to create content that would captivate and engage learners. This was right up my alley, resonating perfectly with my skillset and the kind of impact I aim to make through my work.
“This opportunity felt like a challenge I couldn’t resist. I was eager to see where it would lead.”

The intrigue of this job posting was undeniable. Having spent years in the eLearning industry, I’ve developed a keen eye for projects that not only challenge me but also offer the potential for significant impact. The thought of creating a course from scratch, with the freedom to design the learning objectives, course layout, and content presentation, was exhilarating. The mention of utilizing a variety of LMS and authoring tools also indicated that the company valued innovation and adaptability, traits I highly admire.
The job title instantly transported me back to a similar project I had worked on, where late nights, endless cups of coffee, and the thrill of creating something truly engaging were my constant companions. The satisfaction of seeing learners benefit from my work on that project was unparalleled. Now, reading about this new opportunity, I felt that familiar surge of excitement. It was as if the universe was inviting me to dive back into the creative process, to once again harness my skills and passion to make a tangible difference.
The job posting detailed the need for an instructional designer who could bring a transformative approach to online learning. With a focus on utilizing cutting-edge technology and innovative teaching methodologies, the role promised the chance to make education not just informative but truly transformative.
Conclusion to Job Posting Review
Despite the allure of the job posting, a critical assessment was necessary. The absence of clear information regarding financial compensation left me contemplating the feasibility of this opportunity. My professional journey is guided by not only the passion for my work but also the practical aspects such as financial return on investment. Unless the project could assure a minimum earning of $1000USD, it would not align with my current professional goals.
Investing Time and Effort
However, should the project meet my financial criteria, I was ready to dive deep into this opportunity. My approach would include a comprehensive presentation showcasing my expertise, previous work, and a detailed plan for this project. Demonstrating my capability to transform their vision into reality would be my primary goal.
Engaging the Hiring Manager
To catch the hiring manager’s attention, my response would be both enthusiastic and professional: “Eager to leverage my extensive experience in Course Design and LMS to revolutionize your eLearning modules. Let’s create something impactful together!”
Questioning the Hiring Manager
In any ensuing discussions, I would seek clarity on the project’s scope, specific expectations, and any particular software preferences. These questions would ensure a mutual understanding and set the stage for a successful collaboration.
Declining the Job Offer Gracefully
If it became clear that this opportunity would not meet my requirements, I would decline respectfully, expressing gratitude for the consideration and hope for future collaboration on more aligned projects.
“Thank you for considering me for this exciting project. At this time, I am prioritizing opportunities that align more closely with my professional and financial goals. I look forward to potentially working together in the future on projects that fit our mutual objectives.”
