Hi Irina, thank you so much for these videos! Not sure if it is the right place to ask but I have an interview coming in a few days for the role of L&D Administrator at an accountancy firm in the UK. Personally I have been an early years educator for 7 years and having managed to climb to the mid-management level, now looking to transition into L&D in the finance field. Would you have any tips as to how to prepare for this initial interview? Thank you so much for your videos again!

Congratulations on your interview! 🎉 One mistake I’ve seen done often is not asking questions of the interviewers. Make sure to prepare some things you want to learn more about that are important to you. Feel free to do a quick Google search if you can’t think of any right now. Other than that, learn as much as possible about the company, make sure you know the basics of L&D as there are differences between the corporate adult and early years education (maybe not as much as one might think but still differences 😊). Good luck on your interview!

@@TheLnDAcademy Thank you so much! I have indeed prepared around 6-7 questions based on your other videos, mostly do with structure of the department, people I am going to be working with and career progression, which is hugely important to me. I am preparing for some questions I think may pop up as well. Given it is a screening interview I am not sure if it is going to go too deep, but anyway if anything it is a great experience. Thank you so much again for your videos and your response! Hugely appreciate it! :D

Nice explanation! Now I wonder how should a LnD portfolio look like?

[@TheLnDAcademy]

The reality is that not every L&D role requires a portfolio. If you’re not going for an instructional designer or video producer, and the role you’re applying for does require a portfolio, it could be a simple pdf or a document with the projects you’ve worked on and the key accomplishments in each project.
