Brief description of your job:
I'm a writer for a
marketing communications company. The majority of my job involves writing, but
I also do some other work creating PowerPoint presentations, developing ad
concepts and even fixing computers. Since I work for a small company, I'm the
whole IT department, and I also do most of the technical writing for our
clients.
Other job titles you have held:
Academic Advisor
What advice do you have for current students?
When you are still in school, make contact with people
in the field you want to go into. Do informational interviews. Join professional
organizations where you will meet people who can advise you and perhaps become
a friend or a mentor. Do an internship. Then when you graduate, contact these
people you have met and see if they have any ideas (or job openings!) to help you
begin your career.
