Technical Writing Certifications

[Chris Borokowski]

While that's true, is it the kind of slimming you would want? I have a
friend who is a Human Resources ninja. I'll ask her how she would
answer, but my answer is to look for some sense of purpose to the
resumes. The people who have consistently developed skillsets and
worked toward something will stand out, and that should cut the number
to a manageable 20-25 people, which I don't consider an unduly heavy
call load to find a match for a position.
