We used the first 50 interviews from the Superlinguo Linguist Job Interviews to look at how people in a range of jobs and careers talk about their education and the skills they now use in the workplace

We provide a breakdown of the domain-specific and transferable skills reported by participants. The paper also includes a survey of research and work on employability for linguistics grads, feat. @UpskillsProject @careerlinguist and @LingSocAm's Linguistics Beyond Academia SIG.

Finally, we include practical steps and resources for linguistics educators to help students connect their learning to potential future careers and jobs.

Educators are uniquely placed to help students, institutions and employers see the value of linguistics.

A lot of this info and the activities are also included in the Linguistics Jobs resource set I put together with @GretchenAMcC, which has been updated with information from the paper: https://t.co/0767A4oTso

Thanks, again to everyone who participated in the Linguistics Job Interview series. And thanks to @AnujaCabraal for bringing a new perspective to the stories in those interviews.

I hope that this paper provides an overview that is worthy of all the stories people shared.
