STC has added three new member benefits:

  • STC’s Notebook is a blog that replaces the monthly electronic newsletter. As the newest publication for the Society, it presents relevant information for STC members and those interested in technical communication as it happens. News stories, pertinent announcements, and informative articles will be posted frequently as the blog grows and changes to meet the Society’s needs. Visit STC’s Notebook at http://notebook.stc.org and sign up to receive the blog routinely via the RSS feed.

        STC’s Job Seeker Boot Camp is a FREE program for members who are currently seeking employment or wish to expand their contract work. The Boot Camp includes unlimited access to the STC Career Center, unlimited access to more than a dozen articles written by and for technical communicators with tips and advice on finding a tech comm job, access to audio podcasts by well-known STC recruiters, and the latest STC Salary Survey. To sign up for the Boot Camp, visit the Job Seeker Boot Camp webpage. (Member log in is required.)

        STC’s Salary Database is a tool that members can use to conduct more productive job searches, make a strong case for a raise, or prepare department payroll budgets. The Salary Database provides more than 100 pages of detailed regional and industry specific statistics on the number of jobs and salaries for technical writers. The report covers 160 municipalities and 21 non-metropolitan areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. View STC’s Salary Database. (Member log in is required.)
