Keywords:

Using insights drawn from the experiences of professional linguists working in a range of domains, this book is an essential resource to help you recognize the value and relevance of your skills and training as a linguist in the job market. No matter where you are in your career – just starting a first job or reflecting back on 30 years – this book provides an interpretive frame for catalyzing momentum around what comes next.

Encouraging you to approach your career with agency and curiosity, Anna Marie Trester details the myriad ways that linguists can contribute meaningfully to the world of work. Exploring the connections between linguistics as a field of study and a way of thinking, she details the ways in which the powerful observational and analytical skills and abilities cultivated by a background in linguistics can be employed in a diverse range of professional workspaces. With activities, exercises, and a review of career literature, Employing Linguistics helps you seek and create opportunities as you choose what challenges to focus on next.

Recenzijas

Anna Marie Trester's new book is more than a career guide for linguists. From an abundance of stories by professionals at various stages in their careers, she identifies the skills that trained linguists bring to fields as diverse as healthcare, branding or technology. Suggestions for reflective tasks help readers apply the stories to their own career trajectories, which may be anything but linear. Trester can look back on many years of experience in research and coaching, and her story is well worth listening to. * Veronika Koller, Professor of Discourse Studies, Lancaster University, UK *
