#89 - I Applied to Be a Digital Reporter… and Didn't Make It
About this episode
In this episode, Brynn shares her experience applying for a digital court reporting position, the lessons learned, and insights into the profession.
Lately, I’ve been questioning everything about my career path as a court reporter. In this episode, I share why I applied for a digital court reporting position… why I didn’t get the job… and what I learned. Topics covered: • the reality of juggling transcript production, deadlines, admin work, and life balance • why training my new VTM (Virtual Transcript Manager) has completely changed the way I view this profession • the hidden cause of so much burnout in court reporting • the CAPTUR merger between AAERT and STAR • why I believe the human being behind the record matters more than the tool being used And for the first time ever… I’m releasing one of my original industry-inspired songs: 🎵 “We Preserve the Testimony” This episode is honest, hopeful, personal, and the music is catchy!
