What: Career lunch presentation from Susan Caiopoulos
When:  Monday, February 5, 2018 @ Lunchtime
Where: Room 1035 (College & Career Center)

Susan Caiopoulos will have the admissions director from the local court reporting school and another fellow court reporter joining her to speak about a career in Court
Reporting. There will also be a steno machine hooked up for a live demo!
Court reporters capture the spoken word using a stenotype machine and prepare transcripts of court hearings, depositions, and a variety of other settings. Did you know that closed-captioning on TV is provided by a court reporter? Many career choices: working full time in court with full benefits, working as a freelance reporter and choosing the number of days you work per week, or even doing live closed-caption broadcasting from the comfort of home. The earning potential is fantastic, and as there is a shortage of court reporters right now, there is a demand now more than ever, which is not changing anytime soon. If interested in finding out more, please come to the speaker event.

Upcoming Lunchtime Career Speakers: NASA-Jet Propulsion Lab (2/16), University Director/Researcher (2/21), Pharmacist (3/9), Physician-Internal Medicine (3/19), Architect (3/27)
