"Stepping out: From tutoring to business (learning business skills in the writing center)"

This article by Amy Blackmarr is fantastic information about how tutors can benefit from being tutors in other aspects of their careers. 
Blackmarr goes in depth on how tutors can gain the following skills about business: 

(I) Information-gathering (how to get people to talk to you)
(2) Flexible thinking (how to break your attachment to the idea that there is only one way to do something) 

3) Problem solving skills (how to diagnose problems, uncover workable solutions and demonstrate results)
(4) Tolerance (developing your sense of humor)
(5) Composure (how to keep yourself together in an uncomfortable situation)

(6) Teamwork and management skills

(7) Awareness of approach (non- directive or directive)

(8) Better writing and computer skills. 

I found this article to be very encouraging, since I know a lot of the interns might be moving on to other careers.
