The trouble is this:
If you are proficient in your native tongue and are
familiar with a computer, many many folks are going to
think that you can techwrite if you add such a title
to your business card.
Period.
And, companies are going to hire such folks at a cut
rate over seasoned pros who dislike Sponge Bob and his
Square Pants.
Period.
The question is, will such companies get burned, lose
money, recognize they were burned, care, and repeat
the same *mistake.*
Dunno.
I feel your pain, I see it here every minute of every
day.
Finally, really, Coke still makes Tab? Clearly, you
are already offshore.
