Advancing Your Career: Identifying and Enhancing the Role of the Technical Communicator
Monday, September 22nd, 2008
Spend the morning identifying roles in technical communications, the types of industries that compete for communications specialists, the habits of effective communicators, and networking best practices. After a hot buffet lunch, focus on growing your online network, identify what makes a résumé great, how to perform when being interviewed (and what to look for when interviewing) and spend time at a panel discussion with all the speakers. STC Toronto hosts this event to provide technical communicators with opportunities for professional development, create a sense of community among technical communicators, promote technical communication and technical communicators, and communicate professional opportunities to its members. PRICING: (Includes hot buffet lunch, speaker notes and networking session) DETAILS: View a detailed PDF with topic, speaker and timing information. LOCATION: Held in partnership with Seneca @ York near Keele/Steeles. REGISTER: Email clearwords@sympatico.ca or call 416–998–8847
