Subject:Re: The STC and me From:"T.W. Smith" <techwordsmith -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 27 Jul 2004 20:05:56 -0400
I would say the same three reasons Lee did, except:
I did apply for a job that I was well-qualified for, and they were
looking for folks active in the local STC, which I am, yet the company
in question never followed up.
Still, were I a hiring manager (have been, am not now), most other
things being equal, I'd prefer STC members over non-STC-members,
because the former are demonstrating an interest in the profession,
rather than just being truck drivers or lawn-care guys who fell into
the profession by accident when their previous gig ran out.
