Kim,

I hire many tech writers every year. Over the years, I have only hired a
couple of writers without experience; however, both of them were willing to
do a writing sample to demonstrate what they could do.

I recommend writing up some procedures in Word or FrameMaker about software
or hardware with which you are familiar. Do about five to ten pages. This
number will give you a chance to show off both your procedure-writing and
organizational skills. Be sure to include illustrations (screen grabs or
line art) and format the document as if it were a finished product.

You can then say, "See, I can do it!"

Good luck,
