I'm fairly new at the Tech Writing game. Can anyone advise me on what
samples of my work I can show to a prospective employer? Since I've signed
a non-disclosure agreement at my current job, I'm thinking this means I
*can* show my stuff once the product is released, but not manuals I'm
working on for versions not-yet-released. Is this correct?
TIA! I want to explore job opportunities, not get thrown into the hoosegow.
