Re: First days and weeks on the tech writing job

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

In a startup, an experienced self-starter will need:

   - logins for all the online resources
   - licenses for installed software, if any
   - paths to download software, fonts, etc., if any
   - style guides
   - department procedures & workflow (might be a doc or in-person
   orientation)
   - access to doc source
   - access to application source
   - introductions to their SMEs

At that point, I'd leave it up to them how they want to proceed, and be
available as necessary.
