Court Reporting!
So many ways to use our stenographic skills – CART Provider, CART Captioner, CART Broadcaster, scopist, (trainer of software), and verbatim reporter. My first aspiration was to become a verbatim reporter! I saw the potential of this skill when I was in high school at Chicago Vocational High School. I enrolled in the class – 3 weeks late! I am so grateful that I found this profession and now 37 years later, I am still working as a court reporter but have added on the skill to work also as a CART Captioner – providing CART Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community.
I am now continuing to add to my skillset – course builder, trainer, and now writer! “Where do you find the time,” you say. Well, using a proofreader and scopist frees up my time! And then of course as a freelancer, we have days when we are very busy and days where we are looking for work. But of course, I didn’t have this desire to be a trainer and writer in my early days as a reporter.
After writing the words of others for over 35 years, you get to a point where you want to be creative! So now I have found a way to take my professional skills and my work as a Sunday School teacher for over 25 years and some additional training and have gotten in the life coaching business which has actually improved my skills as a trainer. “Retire” is not in my vocabulary!
