[Anything else you may think relevant.]
I will co-relate some of the answers and any comments you
wish to have included, and post a report to this group
before the end of March.
F.Y.I. I was, in a previous existence, a technical
co-ordinator for large scale multi-media presentations at
conventions, etc. (You know, 29 slide projectors, 2 movies
and video with mega-sound systems.) I went back to school
for a diploma in Applied Information Technology, and had the
grandiose hope that companies here in Vancouver, BC, Canada
(soon to be an international banking center for the Pacific
Rim - everyone sez so!) might welcome some home-grown talent
in their efforts to improve communications at the strategic
planning level. I ain't holding my breath, and decided to
see how others got into the jobs I can't seem to find here.
My research has indicated that others are also trying to get
where you respondents already are, so I thought I'd do a
little basic (primary) research, and post the results.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to the survey.
