Help Re. Writing Samples for Potential TW Employers?
Subject:Help Re. Writing Samples for Potential TW Employers? From:"Deborah L. Crossman" <DLCrossman -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Sun, 24 Jan 1999 23:06:15 EST
I have experience in Technical/Scientific Writing, but obtained that
experience as part of other positions. I am now seeking a full-time position
as a TW, however, I never thought to save any writing/documentation samples,
and my past employers won't be eager to pass these on to me now. Does anyone
have suggestions, other than White Papers, about how I could quickly produce
some adequate writing samples?
