STC/SM distributes announcements about job openings in technical communications, along with other chapter news and information, to STC/SM Members through the STC/SM Chapter Listserv. If you are an STC/SM Member, subscribe to the STC/SM Chapter Listserv to receive chapter communications and job postings by email.

The STC/SM Chapter distributes announcements about job openings in technical communications to STC/SM Members first, before distribution to the public and other technical communicators, in four ways. After receiving an email with a job posting, the Job Board Manager sends the information to the STC/SM Chapter Listserv. Releasing the information to the public, the STC/SM Chapter Website is updated soon after, followed by announcements at the next chapter program meeting, and publication in the next chapter newsletter.

STC/SM Chapter Listserv—Chapter listserv subscribers receive all job postings, along with other chapter news and information, by email. This enables the STC/SM Job Board Manager to announce job postings soon after receiving the details.

STC/SM Job Board—All job postings are published on the public STC/SM Chapter Website on this page, the STC/SM Job Board webpage. Postings generally remain on this website for at least 60 days from the date included in the listing.

Program Meetings—STC/SM makes information about current job postings available to members who attend chapter program meetings. Chapter program meetings are generally held September through June throughout southeastern Michigan.

Chapter Newsletter—To keep members informed of the current job market and companies that hire technical communicators, STC/SM publishes submitted job postings in the STC/SM Chapter Newsletter, TECHcomments, available from the Chapter Newsletters webpage. Job posting information is automatically included in the next issue of TECHcomments.
