“But increasingly these people have no experience whatsoever – they just seem very, very good at giving the impression that they do.”
She’s so right. Throughout my career people have come to me saying they want to be either a technical writer, a novelist, or an editor — and they have no experience and none of the required skills. They just think it would be an easy job. Unfortunately many of them continue in that direction, through cronyism, or because it helps a hiring manager meet the unofficial quotas (of whatever the higher-ups are demanding for where the staff comes from).
