Re: Experience = skill? (was various other threads)

Good Morning All,

I agree with Bruce and Christine--experience doesn't equal skill. Although I'm a relatively new TW (or should I say technical communicator).  I graduated with my master's in technical & professional communication in December.  I know that many of the jobs I would be interested in requires more experience than I have now.  The information found on this listserv through its members' many, and oftentimes delightful, discussions serves to remind me just how much about this field I don't know.  A lot of what is said goes straight over my head.  However, I am striving to gain as much experience as I can in my current position.  I know until I get this experience, my chances of getting different, better employment are few.
