TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The answer depends upon which ID books you're flipping through.
The ISD model I worked with (back in the '70s) occupied seven thick
volumes (printed by the U.S. government) and the woman I worked for had
a PhD in this specific ISD process.
The Government Experts in the loop seemed, from my limited perspective,
to specialize in knowing where to cut corners in the elaborate process
to get something done that could still be called ISD.
And if the ads are for government-related positions, I would expect that
they are looking for people who have the "secret decoder ring" and can
talk in ADDIE code phrases as if they were speaking English.
Caution: The above is mostly speculation on my part.
