Soft Skills: The Missing Ingredient to Career Success

Structured Frame and DITA and IoT, oh my!

Technical writing has always been the field in which we document technology that has never existed before, but it seems like our authoring tools and technology are evolving even faster the than technology we are documenting!

However, in this session I am not going to talk about the latest tools and technology you need to learn to stay competitive. Instead, I’ll share what I see is holding most tech writers back from quantum leaps in career development.

Attend our September meeting for a fun and interactive session that is guaranteed to increase your “promotabilty” and advance your  tech comm career!

Location and Parking

7 Hutton Centre Dr.
Santa Ana, California 92707-5794

There is another DoubleTree hotel nearby, so it’s easy to accidentally go to the wrong location if you do a search for “DoubleTree” on your phone, instead of searching for the exact address!

The DoubleTree Club offers complimentary valet parking. If you prefer to self-park, tell the valet that you’re at the hotel for an OCSTC meeting, and ask if you can park yourself.
