All,
I saw today's User Friendly
(http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20071127&mode=classic)
and was struck by how much that resembles the perennial problem of
a good tech writer. How do you differentiate yourself (either
on the job or when looking for a job) when you have EXACTLY
the skills that many organizations need, and everyone else
thinks they have those skills too?
Food for thought,
Eric
