FW: Getting into technical writng

["Esthee Erasmus" <Esthee -at- k2workflow -dot- com>]

Sounds like technical writing might just be for you, especially the
learning new things part, as you are continuously learning new things in
a very short time.  

When I started working as a Technical Writer, the field wasn't even
established in my country, so most companies were still wondering what a
technical writer was.  I had just finished my degree in Applied
Launguage Studies majoring in Technical writing and English.  I knew
that the trend would reach my country in about 3 years as it was already
making waves in America.  So instead of knocking on unresponsive doors I
found an IT firm who needed documentation done and at first I worked for
free.  

Radical but worth it.  After two manuals they started paying and three
years later I had enough experience to actually go to an HR
department...

Good luck
