Publisher's Synopsis
You were drawn to linguistics as a course of study because you enjoy tackling challenges, so why not bring the skills you have honed to professional challenges that speak to you? The world (of work) needs linguists!! Linguists possess a unique set of analytical skills that are applicable in any professional context, and which may also be brought to the process of finding the job. Who better to tackle the series of texts and interactions that comprise the job search than someone trained to critically analyze language? There's no reason our cover letters shouldn't be the very best ones out there!! In this book, I share stories of professional linguists to help answer the perennial question "linguistics? what can you do with that?" along with developmental activities to help you use the tools and skills you already possess to navigate your career next steps. "Here's to what's next!"
