Subject:Employer Challenge From:George Williams <williamg -at- MTS -dot- NET> Date:Tue, 14 Oct 1997 15:24:28 +1600
I have yet to find any solid job leads in the U.S. using Employment
Agencies, mainly due to my lack of actual FrameMaker
experience(I am presently learning FrameMaker) so I thought I'd offer
the following challenge to any employers, if its ok with the
tech-writers list.
Challenge:
Please forward the worst and most convoluted short writing sample you
can find, preferably from a current user manual. I will clarify it
(without the benefit of knowing the actual
procedure/software/hardware) and send it back.
There are some obvious flaws/reasons why some wouldn't
take me up on this offer, but ....
Thanks,
George Williams
