From the President
Your Employment Goals and STC

by George Slaughter, Information Developer, BMC Software

With New Year’s Day coming up quickly, many of you will be making resolutions. For some of you, one of those resolutions concerns your employment status. This month we look at how STC can help you turn those employment resolutions to reality.

Upcoming Events

Locally, STC Houston will sponsor its Employment Share-the-Knowledge (STK) seminar on Saturday, January 11, at the Hilton Houston Westchase and Towers, 9999 Westheimer. Gary Foster, our STC Houston Employment Committee manager, organized this popular event last March. Come get your resume critiqued, and hear presentations on networking, creating portfolios, and job interviewing.

Ongoing Service

Most of you know that STC has revamped its www.stc.org web site. The job database kept there is now a members-only feature. To access this database, enter your member identification number—found on your STC membership card—and your password. You can look for contract and permanent employment on this database.

The STC Houston employment web page—www.stc-houston.org/employment.html—remains accessible to everyone. Here you’ll find links to the STC Houston job board, a salary survey, and other useful information. Finally, at each STC Houston program meeting, you’ll find an employment table where you can visit with Gary and his committee about employment issues.

Mastering Knowledge in 2003

Helping people Master Knowledge for Success is at the very heart of what STC and STC Houston are all about. Through these employment services and activities, STC wants to help you be successful in 2003.
