Voice assistants have become household names as smart speaker adoption rates have skyrocketed over just a few short years. What has made voice so popular? And what should technical communicators know about this new area of technology?
Are you looking for a job in the field of technical communication? Or considering some change in your tech comm career? You need to attend the fifth annual STC Berkeley job fair. You can talk to recruiters, join in short discussions about career-related topics, and get expert advice about improving your resume. And you can network with other people in the field at the Job Fair.
This year we have moved the Job Fair from Wednesday evening to Saturday afternoon, and extended the time, to make it more convenient for people to attend.
Recruiters from Synergistech and TEKsystems.
Resume advice from Joy Montgomery, author of a book about resume-building.
Progression-style discussions:
* Dyana King asks that anyone who plans to join her progression discussion take the four-minute assessment at www.mindtime.com anytime before the progression begins. You will get much more out of the discussion if you do.
Saturday, September 29, 2018. Doors open at 11:00 a.m., close at 5:00 p.m. Recruiters will begin interviewing at noon. Progression discussions 1:00 to 2:00.
The location is the Ed Roberts Campus, 3075 Adeline Street, Berkeley. You can take public transit: the campus is adjacent to the Ashby BART station. The job fair will be just off the main lobby.

Blockchain is the technology that supports cryptocurrencies, the “rails” they run on. The world of blockchain and crypto has its own jargon, a growing technology infrastructure, and even some political philosophy behind it.
