Vanessa:
Put a section under each job "skills relevant to technical writing."
These could include layout, project management, and editing.
It helps to keep in mind that a resume does not have to be an objective
job history. It must be truthful, but should give the most space to the
most relevant positions.

Wisdom is a snake waiting underneath a stone,
Refuge is in silence or in any stony place,
I will not share your pity, your laws, or your disgrace."
