Professional Paths for Linguists: Preparing for What’s Next

Full-day workshop by Anna Marie Trester (FrameWorks Institute) and Anastasia Nylund (Georgetown University) on opportunities for anyone exploring career paths for linguists. Held at the 2015 LSA Summer Institute on 7/18/15 at the University of Chicago: The presenters approached the job search as a research process, starting with the task of identifying skills, abilities, and professional goals, followed by practice in telling effective stories about ourselves as professionals and as linguists. Thanks to Alan Yu and the 2015 Institute staff for recording and sharing this video.
