Social Media and the Technical Writer's job search
Currently, I have a job as a technical writer;
therefore, I do not expect to have to seek a job anytime soon. However, in preparation for the unknown, I
have set up a profile on LinkedIn and have cultivated a set of 47 professional
connections. Using LinkedIn, I have renewed
professional connections that I started when I was more active in the Society
for Technical Communication. Additionally, I used connections established through LinkedIn to gain
the 150 survey participants for part of my thesis research. Therefore, I seem to be well on the way to
proving Noz Urbina’s point that “social media is not just for socializing” (3).
