tech writer group dynamics

["Jill Mohan" <jillemo -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello,

I have just been told that my employer may be looking to add another tech
writer to the staff (doubling it, as I am the only one).  A manager told me
to be prepared to interview candidates, and that they are hoping to clone
me.  The company is a small defense contractor in northern Virginia.

I have never worked with another tech writer before, so i am a little
apprehensive about a few things:  what will the career path be, how will it
be decided as to who gets to work on what, how long should it take to
write/review documents, etc.

Any caveats or recommendations for a person in this quasi-enviable position.

Thanks,
Jill Mohan
