RE: novice question

Welcome to the group, Christine!

I would suggest for you to make an appointment with the Human Resources
officer of a large hospital and talk to them about their needs for technical
communication specialists and how you can best prepare yourself to meet
those needs.  Be prepared to hear that you might be over-qualified!
Certainly, if STC has a Paris chapter you should attend their meetings and
consider membership.

You might also want to look at translation of medical technical documents if
you are fluent and comfortable in French and English.  This would give you
good exposure to a wide range of documentation.

Warm regards,

Dori Green
