To add to Beth's advice, don't just hack out a document with Frame as
the tool, take the time make sure you understand master pages, how to
use character and paragraph styles, variables, conditional text... all
the fun stuff. What you really need to prove, at the end of it all, is
that you understand how to do structured writing within the confines of
*any* piece of software.
