"I know that the last three jobs I got, including this one, I knew next to nothing about the technologies involved. I was, however, able to learn them quickly and turn out documentation, sometimes on tight deadlines."



Same here. I wrote for the computer industry, jourbalism, and the oil and gas industry and didn't know anything about them when I started. In my opinion, the willingness to learn the technology and ability to translate it to words is probably the strongest asset a writer can have and the best thing a prospective employer can hope for.
