My goal for my classes this summer is to put together a portfolio of writing samples and start looking for Technical Writing work. Through the month of August I will focus on refreshing my computer programmer skills. In September I hope to apply for Programmer Writer jobs in hopes of better understanding what qualifications I need to be more competitive in that field.
