Subject: Re: [TCP] California Association of Teachers of English
The connection may be rather tenuous, but every time I've
had an opening in past 10 years or so, as I've reviewed
resumes I've found myself wondering who's teaching
people to read and write these days, then thought, if I'm
thinking this while reviewing resumes from people
applying for jobs as technical writers, how bad do resumes
from people applying for non-writer jobs look?
