It seems a few of you folks are considerably behind the times. "User
Experience" is an increasingly common field of endeavor in our

around this area many times over the last several years.



My point (and it was no joke) was that not all companies that need
technical writing produce computer hardware or computer software. If
Chuck wants to work only in that field, then his job title is grand,
because the CEOs in noncomputer-based organizations probably won't
understand it.


Neither developing user assistance (which is far, far more than just writing) nor designing the user experience (which is designing communication) is limited to computer hardware and software. And CEOs rarely create the job requisitions, review the resumes, and make the hiring decisions for non-management positions.
