English Major: Working as student journalist “helped me get the job” of technical writer -- Jerz's Literacy Weblog (est. 1999)

I just got this email from a student who graduated in May. I’m the adviser to The Setonian, the student newspaper.

I think it’s safe to say that working with the Setonian helped me get the job. Several of the tests I took with the company involved me compiling given information into paragraph format, which was pretty similar to writing news articles! The teamwork and leadership experience with the Setonian was also invaluable. –Regina Solomond, English major, class of 2015, Seton Hill University
