Even though I'm comfortable at my current job and know that my position is funded for a couple more months, I keep an eye on the job market. I have a number of automated searches running that look for various combinations of keywords: technical writer, documentation manager, etc.

This morning, one of the searches found an administrator/technical writer job. Requirements include good technical writing and process mapping capabilities. The person would be developing and maintaining procedures in a software quality assurrance team. Oh, and by the way, the person would also order office supplies.

Another job that was suggested by one of the searches is that of movie extra. "All looks needed." What's the phrase, a great face for radio?
