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.)
· STC’s Online Buyers Guide and Consultant Directory includes listings for companies offering tools, products, and services used by technical communicators.

Announcement |

If you didn't get to
attend the STC Summit in early
May, then...
STC is
bringing the Summit to you, with
SUMMIT@aClick!
We realize that it wasn't
possible for everyone to come to
the Summit in Dallas and
experience STC's 57th Annual
Conference in person. So while
we can't bring you the
all-important networking that
took place at the Summit, we
can bring almost all of
the sessions directly to
your computer. SUMMIT@aClick
offers conference sessions
synched to PowerPoint and also
allows access to speaker
materials (when available).
STC's Summit offered over 90
sessions in nine different
tracks, and SUMMIT@aClick will
include 80 or more of them!
Even Summit attendees—who
receive SUMMIT@aClick free with
registration—couldn't get to
everything they wanted. "This
Summit was extremely packed with
all kinds of information," Tony
Chung said after the Summit.
"I'm going to be referring to
Summit@aClick for the next year.
There's just so much stuff that
I didn't get to see!"
And you can see it all too!
SUMMIT@aClick for the 2010
conference will be live later in
the summer, but pre-order now
and get a special discount rate
of $249 for members, $499 for
nonmembers. That gets you the
80-plus recorded sessions and
lets you learn from some of the
top technical communication
minds ... all on your
computer and on your
schedule. (Access good through
31 March 2011.)
