I think putting together a tangible portfolio of writing samples to
physically hand to your interviewer is a powerful technique for getting
hired. I got my first technical writing job because one of my writing
samples (an article on protein) struck a chord with the interviewer (who had
a PhD in biology). (By the way, I just posted an essay on how I fell into
technical writing, among other things, here: http://tinyurl.com/46rtt6.)
