The development of training content and materials is the bread and butter of Instructional Design. The interviewer will want to learn about your experience in materials from scratch and the breadth of your experience with different delivery media. Talk about the training materials you have created, whether virtual courses or presentation slides delivered in person. Discuss your favored formats and some of the most impactful training you have provided in the past.

"My content development experience has run the gamut from language proficiency to business acumen and job-specific training. When I started, I developed PowerPoint slides to support English as a Second Language lessons for an international school where I worked for three years. At that time, I was also working part-time at a real estate firm for which I helped develop some creative real estate workshops, which included materials such as workbooks and slides. Then, I joined the 123 Group as a Learning and Development Trainer. I developed full training suites for negotiation skills, leadership training, market analysis, and goal-setting. These suites included presentation decks, facilitation guides, e-learning modules, and quizzes, among others."
