For this job listing, I think they have the wrong title. Sounds like a "secretary" job to me.Or maybe another job combined with the secretary job (they do that a lot now days with downsizing). Or maybe the secretary and business analyst ran off together so in order for that not to happen again, they combined the job...  --------------- Title: Business Analyst Support [details about the job and description] Local candidate, available immediately Skills: MS Word, MS Access, MS Excel, MS Outlook, Dictation, Shorthand.... -------------- There's no pay scale that I can see. |

A lot of the managers in my department have notebooks, nice ones.
I asked one manager why he didn't take his iPad into the meeting, he said so others wouldn't think he was just playing games on it (maybe someone made a joke during the meeting--occasionally he moved things around or looked up things). So he just took a notebook into the meeting.
Of course if you're writing shorthand, you can write anything you want and no one will know (unless they take a pic and post it asking what it says on some website).

Any profession where spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc., are expected to be top grade. You learn all that in shorthand.
When you transcribe is when you really learn this. Plus you pay more attention to how the words are formed into sentences when you take dictation and then transcribe them.

Any job requiring dedication or the trait. It shows you're dedicated to something outside of the norm. You took the time to learn this skill that isn't widely used today.

Jobs requiring balance or someone not addicted to social media or playing games. Learning shorthand is an additional hobby you have pursued. It shows that you can do more then stare at a phone screen, even if it does have the shorthand manual on it.

Just checking out jobs on indeed.com (was searching for something else and typed in shorthand). One job: Official Court Reporter State of Nebraska District Court Judge - Dakota City, NE The Hon. Paul Vaughan is accepting applications for the position of Official Court Reporter. Official court reporters must be competent in the making, preserving, transcribing and delivery of a verbatim record of trial and other proceedings through the use of either pen or machine shorthand or the use of multi-track recorders supplemented by logging procedures. Other duties may be assigned by the appointing judge. Oh, there's one in Hawaii. 225 wpm is the maximum. I can't do it. Another one I found: COUNTY COURT #8 - COURT REPORTERHidalgo County, TX - Edinburg, TX $77,446 a year Makes verbatim record of court proceedings using written symbols in shorthand, machine shorthand, or oral stenography..

INVESTIGATION
How about a job where you're following someone and in a vehicle? I know the police get jokes about being on their laptops while driving (if your state or country has that). But maybe a Private Investigator would rather carry around a light notebook as opposed to a laptop.
I'm reading a novel and the ladies ex was a P.I.
Also in that book the lady is on a CRUISE SHIP where she works and doesn't carry a laptop. So far not a notebook either, but if there is some place you can't use a laptop like that, this might work. Especially little notes.
WATER BASED EMPLOYMENT
Any job that requires you to be near water. Even the "water-resistant" phones aren't perfect in this situations. Mine wouldn't charge when the port got a bit wet. I had to wait for it to dry.
