Hello,
I've just completed a technical writing program and will be looking
for a position
as a technical writer in the near future.
I realize a lot of employers require knowledge of FM for any
technical writing position
within their company. Because FM can do so much, I'm looking for advice on
what areas I
should focus on now to land that first job. My hope is to be proficient in
certain areas
of FM to land my first position, then improve my skills/knowledge of FM once
I'm working
in the technical writing field. Any advice from those working in the field?
Thanks,
Andy
