Hi Krista,
I shared a link to your post on the Write The Docs slack workspace, in the managing-writers channel. I hope it generates some out of the box responses.
Coincidentally, my tech writing Alma Mater, BC Institute of Technology, shared a junior-level job with the note:
âThey mentioned that they are not looking for any years of professional experience just someone who has a passion for writing as well as some sort of education in English or Writing.â
Hope these insights help!
-Tony
