Breaking In

[Harry Husted <husted -at- creatingwords -dot- com>]

I have worked as a writer for years. I only worked as a technical 
writer for a very brief time (about one year out of nearly 20). I see 
ads for technical writers all the time but each job I see listed 
states you must have experience with the program or application they 
are using.

How can i break into the technical writing field if every job lead 
specifies you must have experience with the program or system they are using?

Should I focus my technical writing on nontechnical writing areas?

Any advice?

Thanks.
