Mirhonda Studevant joined us last month for the September meeting where she shared with attendees her knowledge and resources for surviving job hunting. She has accumulated this information from the 20+ years she has spent working in the technical communication field. Studevant’s presentation was titled “Job Search Survival: How to Get Off the Island.”
The presentation was broken up into four parts:
- Signal for Rescue
- Find Fresh Water
- Find Food
- Avoid Injury
Studevant also listed various tools job hunters can use, such as the website Simply Hired, which searches various job sites and compiles the results in one place, and the online learning platform lynda.com, which was recently acquired by LinkedIn and is now LinkedIn Learning.
