Biography
Jessica McCaughey is an Associate Professor of Writing at The George Washington University, USA.
“McCaughey has identified an understudied yet in-demand area of writing transfer in this robust study of workplace writing and career management. This book is about more than writing – it’s about how people tap into their own inner resources, confidence, experience, and wisdom to manage their careers. Readers who have gone through their own career change or those who are preparing students for the ever-changing workforce will find this text accessible, impactful, and enjoyable.”
