Subject:RE: What is a word attachment? From:Diane Evans <DianeE -at- LOCKSTREAM -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 9 Aug 2001 09:38:44 -0700
"Yes I considered this, but it's little hard to picture that too many
people
on this list are still using Windows 3.x or earlier. <g>"
My thought was: Is there a technical writer who doesn't either use Word or
know where to get a copy of it? There are many libraries, colleges,
Kinko's, etc., where a person can use Word long enough to type up a resume
and send it off to someone.
Why would a company want a Word attachment? Some large corporations (such
as Boeing and Microsoft in our area) put these resumes in a searchable
database. I suppose that some recruiters only have Word skills as well.
And, if a person is applying for a job as a technical writer, the ability to
adapt quickly to new software (such as Word) would be important.
