I thought many of you on this list might be interested in this free webinar that Paula Stuart-Warren will be giving tonight for APG. The live webinar is free and open to the public. If you know anyone interested in a possible career in genealogy (this includes not only client work, but also writing, lecturing, genealogical librarian, and other genealogy-related careers), please pass this on to them as well! "Are You Ready to Be a Professional Genealogist?" Tuesday, 17 March 2015 at 9:00 PM EDT with Paula Stuart-Warren, CG https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/477982617 Many people who have worked on their own family history research consider this profession. However, we need the necessary areas of skill, experience, and understanding before presenting ourselves as a professional in this field. I like to offer realistic encouragement to those considering working part-time or full-time in this occupation. During this webinar we will cover some readiness questions, learn about ways to improve our skills and knowledge, and learn to honestly judge our readiness. How do you think you will do in the readiness questions? While directed mainly at those interested in doing research for clients, most of these principles also apply to those who are writers, editors, lecturers, heir searchers, or genealogical reference librarians. This webinar is sponsored by the Association of Professional Genealogists and is part of the ongoing APG Professional Development webinar series. Hope to see some of you there! Kimberly Powell
