Upon investigation of the career websites referenced in the assigned reading of the Instructional history and profession lesson, I encountered an Instructional Designer/E-Learning Specialist position with Randy Smith Training Solutions-Moody International (RSTS). This position is located in Lafayette, Louisiana and was discovered through the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) website. While I have no desire to relocate to Louisiana, I found the details of this job very interesting and would consider applying for this job upon receipt of my master’s degree. However, my goal is to become an Instructional Coordinator/Instructor within the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS).
According to the job description, the employer is a global training company operating primarily in the Oil and Gas sector. RSTS has been in operation for over 20 years and has office locations in 40 countries. They are seeking a full-time experienced Instructional Designer to join their team. The chosen candidate will be responsible for gathering, evaluating, and applying need assessment data and input from Subject Matter Experts (SME), key staff, and/or management to design behavior-based Safety Leadership and Technical Training materials. He or she will use sound Instructional Design theory to create storyboards, scripts, course content (including traditional e-Learning courseware, software stimulations, blended learning, job aides, and learner guides). The candidate will also share knowledge and coach instructional design peers in effective use of e-Learning platform and author ware.
The ideal candidate for this position will have a bachelor’s degree in Instructional Design or equivalent experience. He or she will have 2+ years of experience designing and creating instructional materials, included blended learning solutions as well as 2+ years of experience using e-Learning courseware. The employer prefers a candidate with Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) certification and American Society for Training & Development (ASTC) membership.

It does sound interesting. I wonder how easy it would be to do with little knowledge of gas industry.
I think that if you follow the ISD model, you would be surprised at how easily you melded right into this whether you had familiarity with the oil and gas industry or not. It's definitely an interesting position and I've heard Lafayette's not a bad place. I have co-workers there.
