STC's New Career Center

Dear STC Member,

We're pleased to announce STC's new Technical Communication Career Center! Far more advanced than our previous job board, the Career Center (http://jobs.stc.org) provides a comprehensive resource for jobseekers. With STC's Career Center, you can:

• view new job listings before they're made available to the general public
• post anonymous resumes and control, on a case-by-case basis, to whom your identity and contact information is revealed
• create personal Job Alerts, based on criteria you select
• create "My Career" accounts to store job openings, resumes, cover letters, and more
• access technical communication job listings and descriptions from more than 300 job boards in our network, including the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), and the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT)

While anyone can view basic information (position, company, and location) for each job listing on the site, only STC members can open the job description for critical details, such as qualifications and contact information. With the new Technical Communication Career Center, STC continues to improve the value of your membership dollar.

Spread the word about the Career Center to colleagues and managers! Once they've seen the benefits it provides, we hope they'll stick around.

At STC, we take our members' career development seriously. While the economy has begun a slow rebound from the dotcom bust of the early 2000s, it's still important to prepare for a difficult market. STC's Technical Communication Career Center can help. Visit it today: http://jobs.stc.org.
