		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m speaking to the Silicon Valley STC in September about my personal thesis that, to survive, technical communicators must generate demonstrable profits (as distinct from quality, productivity, or customer satisfaction improvements) for their employers and clients. So I assembled this list of seven Tech Writing career variants for those curious how the role of profit-generator [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=synergistech.wordpress.com&blog=3024529&post=120&subd=synergistech&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

And that of staying  current with technology and best practices. And then there are the  ethical challenges of putting your clients&#8217; interests [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=synergistech.wordpress.com&blog=3024529&post=119&subd=synergistech&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IMO, there&#8217;s one key determinant of whether a technical communicator (or any professional) has a future. If you can say &#8212; and prove &#8212; that what you do creates profits for your client or employer, and doesn&#8217;t strain key resources such as SMEs&#8217; time, then yes, all else being equal, you&#8217;re likely to survive RIFs.
