What I Would Have Liked to Know by John Hedtke June 16 2016

About the webinar

Being a good technical communicator is a lot more than knowing how to write a good sentence and use a word processor. John Hedtke, the presenter, says “When I was starting out 30 years ago, I would have benefited strongly from having someone sit me down and say ‘Here are things you should know that will save you time, money, and pain if you learn them now.’ ” The presentation groups these ideas in four categories:
Who are you?
Career development
People skills
The Really Important stuff

Intended Audience
Although aimed at people starting on their careers, this is also helpful for seasoned professionals.

Other Cool Stuff Worth Knowing:

John has donated 85 pints of blood.

John writes and sells buttons to a button company in California. Some of the clean examples are "I've suffered for my art; now it's your turn," "Stop me before I log on again," "Death is nature's way of telling you to turn off the computer," "My spirit animal is the gummy bear," "Failure is not an option—it already comes bundled with the software," and "How'd you like to curl up in bed with the author of a good book?" It doesn't pay the rent, but it's a lot of fun.
John has been playing banjo and guitar and singing for over 40 years. He says he gets a lot of requests when he plays the banjo, but he goes ahead and plays it anyhow.
