I'm sorry you feel that way, Fred. I thought that sharing my experiences
with taking a writing test would be of interest to some on this list.
Having been out of work for a month didn't give me the opportunity to ask
specific questions about tech writing tools, work situations and the like.
But, being in the market and participating in interviews has given me
insight into things that a lot of people don't experience that often.
And, to be honest, the only reason I was hired last week was because of the
posts from everyone here regarding interview strategies, etc. Thanks
everyone.
So, now that I'm gainfully employed, I can now post questions like: "The
software installation tells me to press any key; I don't have an Any key"
:^) And before I accepted the Most Likely to Post honor I did some
checking. I'm actually fifth in the number of posts for the month of
December.
