I don't know if I'm a bit of the exception but are qualifications ever
checked at interview? I've been writing for over 15 years and have done a
variety of jobs but, so far, everyone has believed what was on my resume.
I've NEVER been asked for any proof of qualifications (degree/training
certificates etc). Is this rare. Would checking that you HAVE done
advanced training on RoboHelp, Frame etc, have studied TW at college and so
on not help get rid of some of the basics that must be covered at
interview?
