Yesterday, amidst the hustle and bustle of my freelancer life, a new beacon of opportunity shone through the clutter of my daily tasks. While deeply engrossed in crafting an interactive course for a healthcare client, a notification buzzed on my phone. Initially brushed aside, this beacon— a job alert from Fiverr titled “Create an Innovative Online Course with a Talented eLearning Designer”—refused to be ignored. It wasn’t long before my curiosity got the better of me, compelling me to explore this intriguing proposition.
“In the realm of eLearning, every new project is a doorway to uncharted territories of creativity and innovation.”

The job posting was a siren song for a seasoned eLearning Designer like myself, promising the challenge of converting complex concepts into engaging, digestible content. What made this opportunity stand out was not just the requirement for a “talented eLearning Designer” but the explicit invitation to bring creativity and innovation to the table. This was more than just assembling a course; it was about crafting a comprehensive educational journey.
The mere sight of the job posting transported me back to a pivotal project from my past, where I had reimagined a leadership training program for a tech firm. That experience, much like what this new opportunity presented, was about turning dry, complex subjects into vibrant, engaging eLearning experiences. The success of that project not only transformed the trainees’ approach to leadership but also reaffirmed my passion for eLearning design.
The original job post detailed a quest for a dynamic eLearning Designer capable of breathing life into an exceptional online course. It highlighted the need for skills in video production, content development, and voiceover artistry, among others. The call was clear: to create not just any online course, but an immersive, memorable learning experience using innovative eLearning tools and software applications.
Conclusion to Job Posting Review
After thorough consideration, I realized that while the job posed an exciting challenge, it fell short of meeting my professional and financial objectives. The lack of clarity regarding the project’s budget was a significant concern, as the scale and creativity demanded by the project necessitated a budget that would adequately compensate my time and expertise. Hence, despite the allure of the project, I decided it was in my best interest to pass on this opportunity.
Reply to the Hiring Manager
In crafting my response to the hiring manager, I aimed for grace and creativity: “Dear Hiring Manager, I’m honored by the opportunity your job post presents. It encapsulates the challenges and rewards that fuel my passion as a creative spirit. However, upon reflection, I’ve realized that the scope and financial aspects of the project do not align with my current objectives. I am committed to delivering work of the highest quality, which necessitates adequate compensation for the investment of time and creativity. I wish you all the best in finding the perfect candidate for this project and hope we might cross paths under different circumstances in the future. Warm regards, Adam.”
