Re: Post on Technical Writing vs. Technical Communication

[Gene Kim-Eng <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

In my senior year of engineering college I interviewed with a company whose
careers brochure had listed technical writiers as one of the types of
professionals the company employed.  When I told the interviewer my primary
area of interest was technical writing, he told me that they usually
preferred for their technical writers to have prior experience in a
technical field.
