Five steps to your first corporate trainer job

  1. Know what the work is. A corporate trainer teaches employees new skills and processes, in classrooms, workshops and online courses. Beginner postings today use titles like Learning Lead, Non Sterile Compounding; Technical Trainer; Learning & Development Intern; Machine Learning Manager, Feed Ecosystems; Learning & Development Advisor.
  2. Learn the duties, not only the tools. Postings for this work describe what you will do more than which software you will use: read ten of them and list the duties that repeat.
  3. Build proof you can show. Two or three results with a number, from a job, a course project or volunteer work. The kind of line a recruiter looks for: “Was the HR partner for 300 employees in 3 departments”. Certifications the postings name: Six Sigma.
  4. Write the resume and the letter. Start from the corporate trainer resume example and the cover letter example, and replace every line with your own.
  5. Apply where beginners are hired. 53 of today’s 516 open corporate trainer jobs are junior or intern roles or ask for two years of experience or less. See the open jobs and check each one with the resume match checker before you apply.
