It's official. I have been offered and have taken a job at the University of Minnesota. The position I got is Associate Editor/Technical Writer in the Office of Communication and Advancement, which is a sub section of the Office of Information and Technology. The OIT is responsible for implementing new technological projects throughout the university. Right now, they are working on bringing wireless internet to the entire campus. This is something I feel I can help them with. Coming from a wireless campus, I have pretty good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of working on a wireless campus.
I am really excited for this opportunity. This job is a perfect match for my skills. It's almost like they designed this job specifically for me. I will be performing a wide range of tasks in this position. I will be writing technical documentation for the technological projects that the OIT is working on. I will also be writing news articles that will be posted on the office's website. Also, I will be editing my colleagues work. I will also be working with the web designers to help make the website more navigable.
It all sounds really exciting to me. I am happy I will be making 40,000 dollars a year with full benefits. To me, it sounds like a great place to start a Tech Comm career. I'll keep you all posted after I actually start and can be more specific about my job duties.
