Bronson (TCP) Sent: Thursday, 16 November, 2006 18:18 PM To: tcp@techcommpros.com Subject: [TCP] speaking to a college group Good morning, I have a speaking engagement at the local community college on Monday night with a group of students interested in technical writing. I have plans to tell them how I got started in technical writing, show them the interactive 3D documentation I'm working on, and of course, tell them about TCP. :) In the past, I've spoken at several high schools where one of the most common questions is "How much money do you make?", but this is my first time presenting to a college group. * If you had heard a speaker like this in college, what would you have liked to know about the career? * If you *did* hear a speaker like this in college, what types of information presented were helpful, and what you wish they would (or wouldn't) have covered? * If you've been a speaker, your comments about your experiences would be invaluable to me! Thanks! Lisa B. _______________________________________________ Are you a Help Authoring Trainer or Consultant?
