So, this job was recently posted on LinkedIn:
Job Description: Employer's client is looking for 5 technical writers to add
to an existing team of trained authors. Yes, the job title is Technical
Writer, but get this in the list of qualifications:
The desired candidate will have a specific technical writing skillset. NOT
to include IT, technical or medical writing experience.
Uh, yea - maybe the first technical term that the potential employer should
learn is "oxymoron."
Happy Early Friday,
TVB
