At the risk of being flamed or subject to the lampooning of Mr. Plato,
I have a seriously newbie question.
Some time ago, I found myself writing training manuals concerning the
mainframe programs I used in my clerical jobs, right down to "press
this key to get this result".
I'd like to be able to include these manuals on my resume, but I
honestly don't know what to call them, or whether they would even be
applicable to any tech writing jobs I might apply for.
