You get to document the product, but do you inform the development of the product? You get trained in the product but are you a SME in the product or just an informed user? You log bugs against the product but do you inform the fixes? You do your doc plan but do you inform the overall project plan at the onset? You organize doc reviews but do you perform design reviews? There's a big distinction between what our job is and what our profession can offer. Job duties define your job and define the immediate basis for which you get paid. Applying the knowledge and abilities of our profession to all aspects and influences of our job define your career and the foundation upon which you build success. -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner Senior Member STC, TechValley Chapter STC Single-Sourcing SIG Manager http://techcommdood.blogspot.com avid homebrewer and proud beer snob "I see your OOO message and raise you a clue." ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
