Skills Inventory

Our clients typically ask for technical communicators who have substantial technical experience in the computer industry. To improve your chances of finding fulfilling work, we've compiled the following long — but by no means exhaustive — list of skills that are of interest to our current and potential clients.

Please ensure that you include in your resume those entries from this list (and others of which they remind you) with which you have experience, so that we can work more effectively to secure for you the staff and/or contract opportunities you seek.

For each skill with which you have experience, it would be useful to know:

• the model and/or version of the product with which you worked
• how many years of experience you have with it
• your level of proficiency (expert/strong/medium/light)
• the month and/or year you last used it
• what you used it to do
