We’re looking for members to contribute a first-person column for a future issue of Intercom. The magazine has a trio of member-focused columns: My Job (your day-to-day work), Off Hours (discussing your hobby or side gig), and Looking Back. My Job takes a look at the day-to-day work of an STC member and what makes the job interesting, fun, or unique. Off Hours is a look at the side jobs and hobbies our members have. And Looking Back focuses on senior members providing perspective earned throughout their career. Would you like to share your story with Intercom readers? Email Kevin Cuddihy, kevin.cuddihy@stc.org, for more information, samples, and to volunteer!
Hi Kevin.
I’m interested in contributing to the My Job column or the Off Hours column. My job involves user documentation for a medical-records software company, as well as information architecture using a Confluence wiki. The information-architecture part includes trying to convince people that they should use a wiki to collaborate. Even though we pay for an enterprise wiki, many of my colleagues still collaborate by sending Word documents attached to emails. My crusade is to convince them they’re making more work for themselves.
In my “Off Hours” I’m teaching myself e-publishing.
