Re: RoboHelp?? Programs? etc.

I have to disagree - at least somewhat. I've been looking hard for about 6 months. I have all the qualities Al describes. Despite that, I'm not getting many calls. Why? Because I don't have industry experience. I've a ton of good experience, but most of the jobs around here are either in software documentation or medical devices and I haven't done either.

Granted, the tools issue hasn't really come up, but it seems "just" being a really good tech writer isn't enough.

YMMV
