That brings me to a serious question. If we agree that proper use of styles
is vital to success as a TW, how many of you knew that when you were looking
for your *first* TW job? If you did, how did you find out?

Ahem, when I got my first TW job, Word didn't exist. Come to think of it,
neither did Microsoft. <CREAK!> We were lucky to have electric typewriters.
And in my second TW job, the writers used #2 pencils on yellow pads! Really,
it's not THAT long ago!
Now I'll just toddle back to my rocker.
