I work with UUNET Technologies in Fairfax VA. We have an opening for a full
time Sr. Tech Writer who also has substantial experience providing systems
training. This is an opportunity to create documentation in an exclusively
online environment, using web publishing as the primary method of
distribution. The training component involves training in-house users on
internally developed applications. The ideal candidate will have strong
training and writing skills, along with solid experience using documentation
tools (see job description below). The work environment is very casual and
friendly. It really is a great place to work.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please forward your resume to me
as an attachment in Word format. (The hiring manager is not me, but my boss.
I am placing this ad with her approval.)
Thanks,
Dan Everman
