A Moment in Time, Thirty Years in the Making 1973-2003 - Paperback

by Cynthia T. Jordin (Author)

A Moment in Time: Thirty Years in the Making is about the evolution of the Georgia Tech Placement Center into the current Georgia Tech Career Services Office. The idea behind this book is to commemorate the past thirty years, 1973-2003, and highlight the changes that have evolved over time within this environment. This book is easy to read, fun and enjoyable. It is about a group of people in one place, and in one occupation. Topics covered in this book are real events, written by real people, illustrating the best practices of the time. I hope that this book will illuminate Career Services as a unique department. The focus of this book is to highlight the many facets of the Placement Center/Career Services operation while incorporating the many historical events that took place during these years, including the manual or technical writing processes (in choosing different types of stylistic choices and/or different types of audiences) used to accomplish these jobs, and the immense technological changes that truly revolutionized the way we conduct business. The design, format, style and idea behind this book were created by me. However, I am not the sole author of this piece. I invited a number of people to contribute their insight to this work as well.
