Increasing Your Corporate Value
 
Does your company consider technical writers to be a commodity (a service to be acquired given an acceptable level of quality for the lowest possible price), or are tech writers viewed as a valuable member of the product development team, a valuable asset that helps generate revenue?
 
In this session, professional recruiter, business owner, and STC Fellow Jack Molisani will address ways technical communicators can expand their sphere of influence.

Want to increase your sphere of influence and standard of living?  
 
Don’t miss our February event!
