Technical communicators sometimes wonder how their skills, talents, and expertise apply to other careers or jobs. Judy will help us identify the qualities we bring to the table as technical communicators. She will help us understand the value that these qualities bring to other career opportunities.

Judy will lead a highly interactive discussion, starting from an inventory of our skills and experience. You can download the inventory survey form before the meeting, or just show up ready to interact. The file is in Microsoft Word format.

Based on the results of the inventory, Judy will show us how we can use our skills in other positions. For example, she will show how our skills enable us to coordinate proposals and grants or provide consultative support to small businesses and non-profit organizations.

Finally, Judy will lead a discussion of opportunities, successful transitions, and lessons learned.
