snip, hack, chop, slice
In Los Angeles, we are hopping also. When I called our STC
employment information manager (Andre Sharp - a fine gentleman)
I was told that there are many more jobs open than there are
tech writers available!
Hot Dang! Where'd I file my ol' resume?....
Best regards,
Dick Dimock, typing to you live from
NCR Corporation, which also is looking for a senior
writer, and already getting
TECHWR-L responses from
savvy types who think it might
be nice to work in the Faire Citie
of:
El Segundo, CA The town that loves Tech Writers, and
considers documentation of prime
importance in all facets of life.
"But Officer, If I cannot download
a file of the speed laws, with
appropriate context-sensitive Help,
how can I possibly know the laws
in order to comply?"
"Ahh, 'Tis right you are, Citizen. Our
Web page will be back up soon, ye
