RE: ethics, morals in documentation?

This is really the reality of the job market as a whole.  Right out of
college, I went to work as a writer for a defense contractor. Two years
later, I started looking for a new job in the computer industry, but it took
me about 9 months to finally find one, largely because of the industry I had
been working in at the time (and this was in the good old Clinton economy
too).

In my case, it was not a matter of prejudice, but the fact that interviewers
did not see how my skills could transfer to a new subject matter. Whether
people like it or not, what industry you work in does affect how future
employers look at you.
