Hi Everyone,
First of all, I have been with this list for almost a week now, and I find
it fascinating! Anyway, I am a first year student in the TW master's
program at Northeastern University in Boston. I am writing a research
report in one of my intro classes on a specific type of TW that I am
interested in. My problem arises when I look at my resume. I was in retail
management for ten years, and my resume is nothing to look at in the TW
sense. I want to find some way to incorporate my past experience with my TW
future. Is there a way to do this? I have been on the receiving end of
poorly written documents from my companies, trying to instruct employees in
a new process or marketing setup. I would like to write these types of
documents from a user centered outlook. Is this a particular TW niche, or
is it a combo of marketing and TW? Where can I research this subject? Any
help would be welcome.
Thanks,
Carolee
