RE: Web Content Admin Tools

["Ron Hearn" <RHearn -at- cucbc -dot- com>]

I have been documenting a CMS based on Teamsite for some time and as
such have become familiar with the system which, while I find it
cumbersome, is getting increasingly better with each new release. It
does take some time to get up to speed in it, depending on how it is
implemented. As for that position, it sounds like they want one person
to wear two completely different hats. Try to find out how much of the
job is tech writing and how much is content admin. Without a background
in content admin, you could find yourself in over your head, depending
on what they want.

Subject: Web Content Admin Tools

Dear List,

I'm wondering about the job requirements for a Web
Content Administrator/Technical Writer position.
Software applications that [they] PREFER [you] have
knowledge of include:

-Teamsite, Epic XML, Visual Formatter, PVCS Tracker

These tools, in my experience, go beyond what most
technical writers use. Does anyone use these tools on
a daily basis and could advise me what the learning
curve might be- or beyond that- whether this is even a
position I should be interviewing for without ever
having done web content adminstration!

Thanks!
Rich
