Publishing Industry Contacts (Updated December 2019)
As I've moved through the information industry I've collected contacts about associations, financial firms, companies, recruiters and consultants. I've maintained it as a word document and am finally moving it online so that I can refer job seekers and industry researchers there. I'm hoping it will be easier to update and more permanent.
