Community Corner

Meet Jessie Longe!

Jessie transitioned from life on the river and in the mountains - as a seasoned river guide and ski patroller - to the tech world, landing a role as a Corporate Launch Specialist with ClassPass. Before she landed this “dream job”, she reached out to me frustrated by securing interviews but not landing offers. Together, we worked to craft a compelling narrative that helped her express her unique strengths and translate her outdoor experience into language that resonated with employers. Congrats, Jessie!

Your inbox, but make it outdoorsy. 20+ fresh, tailored job leads each month.

How I’d Apply

InStride is hiring an Academic Partner Success Manager (Remote).

Unique Value Proposition (UVP):

For many of us with outdoor recreation backgrounds, our outdoor work revolved around helping people navigate new and sometimes intimidating experiences. You're an expert in creating safe, engaging, and goal-oriented experiences tailored to each guest. Similarly, the Learning Experience Designer role requires empathy for learners, understanding adult learning needs, and designing experiences that feel personal and impactful.

Sample Resume Bullet Point (Hunting Guide):

• Adult Instruction: Broke down complex, technical tasks (e.g., tracking, navigation, ethical harvest practices) into digestible, step-by-step instruction using visual, tactile, and narrative-based learning strategies, resulting in successful and enjoyable hunting experiences.
