RE: Still Seeking Your Thoughts About Technical Skills

["Ted Engel" <ted_engel -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

John:

While defining technical skills is as difficult a task as defining 
pornography ("I know it when I see it..."), I believe the following are some 
examples of skills that are either based in the knowledge of a software 
package or knowledge of a concept that goes beyond simply writing:

Adobe InDesign
Adobe Photoshop
XML
XSLT
Web usability
WebWorks Professional
Indexing
Page layout
Graphic design
Macromedia Flash
Typography
Information Mapping
VisualBasic
HTML
Software architecture

Obviously, there are many more, but these come immediately to mind. Do these 
apply to every technical writing position? Certainly not. However, some are 
certainly more valuable than others in obtaining and maintaining a position.

Regards,

Ted
