Earlier this week, Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger sat down with Rick O’Sullivan and Mark Clifford to discuss the STC Salary Database. Rick is an economist for STC with 25 years experience working with government statistics and formerly an appointed advisor to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statitics for 20 years, while Mark is a former STC president and currently the owner and president of Clifford Sells, a technical communication recruiting and consulting company. Rick is also the man behind the STC Salary Database, taking the statistics provided by the U.S. government and organizing, evaluating, and summarizing them for the publication.
Over the course of 40 minutes, Rick and Mark answered a number of questions, ranging from what’s included in the Salary Database, the importance of the statistics used, and how to use the report to start, evolve, or benefit your career. They discuss the geographic, professional, and positional information included in the Database and the many ways it can be used.
