Re: Re: Question about expanding the role of technical writers

[Vincent <vincentpr -at- trfnova -dot- com>]

   let further comment based on that list
   Deliberately asserting myself as an entry-level technical writer into
   what was at the time the 2nd biggest software company behind MS, I
   eventually found myself on the chairman's acquisition team (through a
   progression of other roles).   I then jumped ship to a start-up as the
   sole technical writer.  This was in the day before the 'internet
   bubble' burst, when if you had early stock in eBay, Yahoo and AOL you'd
   be retired now (I didn't).  It was time when all-of-sudden everybody
   realized they needed a website.  One day the company's founder came by
   my desk while I was working on an operations guide.  He dropped an HTML
   1.0 text on my desk and said 'you are now also our webmaster'.   Three
   rounds of funding later, I found myself for while as VP of Product
   Development as evolved a cutting-edge and complex telephony trading
   site.
