Both conversations (with HR recruiter and manager) went well, and I thought creating/submitting a mock training would be a simple request as well. However, the mock training request surprised me, as it required a complete training - with specific priority on content as opposed to eLearning elements (visuals, interactions, etc). My conversations with the recruiter/manager both stressed the role would be eLearning, not Instructional Design, which led me to believe either (1) they were unclear on what they were actually looking for, or (2) they were looking to bolster their training library. I created and submitted a file, highlighting only a sampling of content-writing ability, but with interactions/graphics/animations to demonstrate my ability as eLearning. I did not expect to receive an offer, as the rubric stated content was first priority.
