I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this:
I was recently hired by a company as a tech writer....
I have no previous experience and this company has no previous experience with an in-house writer. Anything they needed done was out-sourced to consultants.
Now, it is my job to figure everything out. They dont really know what to tell me, other than what they do.
I have no idea where to start. I'm a stranger in a semi-strange land (just because of all the studying I did). Anyone have any advice??
