The problem (and this has been discussed here before)
is that too often the first "tossing-of-the-resume" is
bestowed on an HR-type who can't tell that someone
with a history as a documentation specialist,
technical communicator, or knowledge manager, is
probably experienced as a technical writer. If hiring
managers always did the screening, then I'd be less
worried about qualified people being disqualified by
unqualified hiring drones.

But then again, maybe I'm just a little jaded 3 months
after my downsizing in a market small enough that
there's a dearth of new opportunities. I'd probably
move if I could afford to, but as it is I'll probably
wind up flipping crabby patties.
