Hello. I'm new to techwr-l and only two months into my tech writing
career. My background is in journalism. I recently quit a job with the
Associated Press so I could move (for personal reasons). I now write
software documentation for a frozen foods company based in Minnesota. So
far, I've done all of my learning on the job. But the higher-ups are
willing to fly me to a one- or two-day training seminar. Any
recommendations?
