How did I become a senior technical writer?
After one year with my current employer, I was forced to change departments (or not have a job. . .). The new job I landed was listed as Senior Technical Writer. By virtue of landing the job, I acquired the title. No test, no number of years, no particular qualifications. I do the work, and no one complains.
No, it didn't get me more money, although theoretically the salary range is higher.

I could not find any info in the 2001/2002 archives on this, so I am posting
this.

Can writers with the title "senior writer" give details about how they
received this title?
What were the qualifications used to grant you this title?
Did you have to pass some exam, or was your performance rated against
established parameters?
Did you have to be a writer for X number of years?
Was it just a title promotion?
or
Did you receive a salary increase, and if yes, what percentage?

Thanks for your help.
