Instructional Designer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Instructional Designer with 7 years of experience running performance improvement projects in enterprise environments, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

In my current role as Instructional Designer at Haywire Global, I develop and lead training initiatives and project plans from inception to results for our Sales, Service, Claims, and Membership Services units (750 employees). I collaborate with internal content experts and our Training & Development team to develop instructor-led training, performance drill exercises, and eLearning storyboards. I also design online support materials and trainer guides aligned to the training curriculum. 

I love being creative and introducing innovative techniques to enhance learning. A recent win is my Know Thy Customer program, which blends humorous material and a digital onboarding platform to train new Customer Service Representatives on Haywire’s 16 pillars of success from the comfort of their own home or desk. Onboarding is now achieved 63% faster and is 72% more effective compared to traditional in-person group training sessions. 

In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of Organizational Psychology, a Project Management Professional (PMP) qualification, and a Train the Trainer certification. I possess excellent project management and team leadership skills, alongside robust cross-functional collaboration and client facilitation abilities in Fortune 500 environments.

Due to budget cuts following the pandemic, training is on hold for one year. As such, I am now seeking an equally stimulating opportunity with another inspirational organization where I can make a similarly meaningful impact. It is for this reason that I apply with enthusiasm for this position.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Clint Smith
