Reviews

Anna Marie Trester has written the book that many linguists have been waiting for ... A valuable resource.
*LINGUIST List*

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.
