Re: Internships (was: Breaking into the tech writing job market)

[arroxaneullman -at- aol -dot- com]

DJones -at- zebra -dot- com polled:
 
 - How many of you who actually started out wanting to be a tech writer
 began as a tech writing intern?
 
 - How many of you who started out as something else were interns?
 
 I did internship as part of my Master's program, but I had previous jobs where I wrote even though the job title was nowhere near "Technical Writer."
 
 IMO, internships and other cheap/free writing/editing/designing are ways to build up your portfolio and references. It's a way to say "See, I can DO this stuff!"
