*************************************************
I'm considering moving to a job at another company. The opportunity's okay, except
that I'd be helping the owners with two books that they're writing for a well-known
technical publisher. A lot of what they expect me to do is editing and coordination
with the publisher. I suspect I'll be able to add a little to the technical content
of the books, too.
My question is this: in terms of career development, if you saw on someone's resume
that they'd done this stuff, would it impress you or would you not really care so
much?
