Dear Writers,
I agree with the individual who says that engineers cannot simply
walk into a technical writing position with no more than English Comp
101
and the belief that tech writing is simple.
I have seen enough junk written by such individuals. In the consulting
end of
tech pubs, I believe that no one takes you seriously (pays decent
bucks) until
you have between 8-10 years experience.
Regards,
