Hi Mary;

In a message dated 98-08-08 16:56:32 EDT, you write:

<< .... snip, snip ....
Today, much is expected of a tech writer, and desktop publishing skills are
every bit as important as the ability to write well. In fact, I can't
remember when a job shop called up and asked if I were a good writer. No,
they ask if I know Word, Robo-Help, or FrameMaker.
>>

It strikes me that this is the most important statement in your post.
Perhaps, we need a few human resource people on the List to provide their
answers to this (I do not mean Communicators who hire - they should know
better).

Quality of documentation will suffer if there aren't any well thought-out job
descriptions. Tasks versus Job Descriptions, wouldn't that make a great
debate? ;-)
