Technical Writer or Documentation Writer?

[Cardimon, Craig]

I definitely need a cigarette and a beer. These definitions that change
from company to company are killers.

Sorry to say, but at some companies that would lleave you as the
low man on the totem pole. At some larger companies they use 
that title for entry-level people who do production and administrative
tasks (e.g. archiving, generating print orders, assembling releases)
before they (presumably) get promoted to an actual writing role
as a Junior Technical Writer role.
