>>>>Subject: Filling out a PDP/Entry-level TW Skills
Hello all,
I am a senior studying TWing at a U.S. university.
I've been an intern at a technology company for about
two years and will soon fill out a PDP for the first
time. What sorts of skills are entry-level tech
writers supposed to have? I want to list some goals,
and i want to get a sense of what I should strive for
in terms of skills and know how.
