Well, that depends, John. What fonts do you have installed? ;)
At this moment, I cannot. But when I started my job I didn't know anything
about the technologies I was documenting, either. It's quite possible that
I could document such a thing (if it exists.)
That said, I'll point out that I live in Northern NJ where most of the jobs
are in the pharmaceutical companies, as I know you are aware, John. I don't
have any relative experience -- not any college biology, nothing, and so I
have not been applying for those jobs (and I don't have the money to pursue
the GMP certification). I'm not out there applying for the Documentum jobs,
either. I don't know those technologies, and I'm not about to be faking it.
So I'm not working as a technical writer.
