Linguistics Career Launch 2024 Promo!

This is just a reminder that Linguistics Career Launch 2024 is happening SOON – July 15-26, 2024. If you’re a linguist looking for a job outside academia, LCL24 is THE two-week event that will jump start your career journey. LCL events are open to undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and alums — in short, any linguists who want to transition from academia to industry.

There will be workshops, panels, interviews, and even financial planning sessions! Here’s a selection of what’s on offer:

• Networking for Introverts
• Finding Alternative Careers through Content Creation
• Leveraging LinkedIn
• Getting Familiar with Gen-AI
• Negotiating Salary and Benefits
• Chat GPT, your job search assistant
• How to Taxonomy: Bringing useful order to less useful chaos

and two open discussions:

Everything about work environments that you were afraid to ask

and

But what KIND of degree? In which we tackle the ubiquitous question: Should I get a PhD or a masters? What’s right for me?

 

We’ll also have two courses, each of which will meet six times during LCL:

• Document Design & Usability 101, taught by Dr. Nancy Frishberg: The class project is revising the California Olive Oil Council’s (COOC) Seal Certification Kit for extra virgin olive oil, as shown on its website
• Career Discernment, taught by Dr. Anna Marie Trester: Learn how to demonstrate how your unique set of skills – from critical thinking to cross-cultural competency – make you invaluable in any professional setting.
