Re: Getting started in tech writing...

["Michele Cottingham (BCS)" <cottingh -at- GROUCHO -dot- BSN -dot- USF -dot- EDU>]

I, for one, would be interested in some advise from everyone who would
love to play mentor to us rookies.

I am still wondering how to get practical experience through an internship
or on the job training in technical writing.

I only have my tech writing classes that I have taken. I also have written
a couple of web pages for myself and some others.

My helpdesk positions certainly have helped me to think of my target
reader to create instructional guides for simple processes such as
formatting a page for a bibliography or printer setup. I would like to get
more experience than this(this is a start)to prove my worth to potential
employers.

Thanks for the thought
