David (the man) says of Glen (the Corinthian), who listed what he would ask of a
prospective writer:
>Do I think that your expections
>are realistic? I do not.
I ask:
Why not? In the best interviews I've had, I've been questioned about everything
from the software I used to create the graphics to the binding choice. Plus,
I've been asked to supply technical information about the manual, including an
entire system overview. And you know what? I loved it! I felt I had been given
the opportunity to explain my technical and publishing expertise, as well as
describing any obstacles I had to overcome. I WOULD tell 'em how to unjam the
copier, if they asked. As far as I can see, every question is an opportunity
for you, the candidate, to shine.
