Were you specifically instructed to hire an ESL tech writer? Expats with proven writing skills can be found in most overseas locations.

First, Happy New Year! Who else is super excited for the snow storm in New England? :-| <grin>

So I've been asked to create "levels" of progression for the tech writer team.

After a bit of perusing Indeed.com, I've seen titles such as Junior and Senior, and also I, II, III.

Does anyone have a good break-down of what it means to be in either of these categories?

This search began because I've gotten approval to hire an additional team member to our overseas location -- which brings me to my next question, any tips for hiring ESL tech writers?

My biggest goal is to find someone with a mastery of the written English language, as you might imaging -- how do I go about testing that?

Thanks in advance for your time and responses!
