RE: Certifications

[Stephanie Torlina <stephanie -dot- torlina -at- gmail -dot- com>]

My question is similar but slightly different. I currently work in the
technology industry but want to go the technical writing direction. Since I
am new to the game are there any courses, classes or certifications you
would recommend for a n00b such as myself? I already have a bachelor's
degree in psychology and an associates in network security but want to make
my resume more tailored to the technical writing career. Any advice is
appreciated!

Thanks!

This is pretty good too -- a year old (and similar reference), but it's
linked on the AWS cert site:

Ha, I can't say I'm surprised that AWS certification would be one of the
most valuable. I documented installation of our platform in EC2 and it's
second only to Oracle in terms of gnarliness. It's good stuff and even
pretty well documented, but there are many, many different services that
interact in complex ways. I ended up using a lot of screen shots since it
seemed easy to get lost.
