I need help

OK - I’m breaking down and whining now.

We’re getting too dam successful - and though we’re ramping up nicely on all fronts - one thing has been plauging me. I need a spec writer - someone who can grok what it is I’m talking about - and break it down into writing.

We have four specs to finish and roll out in the next two months. I know exactly how to do them, we have examples of exactly how we like them, we have intelligent clients ready to recieve them - I just don’t want to do them all by myself.

Quite frankly it’s getting boring. We got programmers in Delhi, Hawaii, Christ Church, NYC, Boston, Toronto and Vancouver working - we got virtual managers managing - but now it’s time for a MiniMe.

So here’s the job spec:
- incredibly adept at virtual working enviornments, 24/7 communication,
- great writer, communicator, people person
- totally grok DLAs and where we’re headed
- five years experience in tech - writing specs a must
- flexible, not dogmatic - “only way to do it” should not apply - I have my own way, and you’ll be expected to crank these things out - like one a week
- hard, hard, hard working - did I mention - bust your butt work ethic?
- good English (no need for great - we can get others to fix grammar) - but it’s:
- creating charts, mockups, diagrams
- work flow analysis
- usage scenarios
- schedules
- complete docs

….that is essential.

Please don’t reply if you don’t MATCH all these criterria. References and examples also required. marc [at] broadbandmechanics.com

    Marc, sounds like you’re in good hands with Richard, but if you need add’l help, I can show you some of my requirements-gathering, spec-writing, process-flow-documenting experience.

    Still need a spec writer that can grok what you’re talking about and can translate it into writing? I’m pretty stinkin’ good at that sorta thing, and love doin’ it.

    Gads…looks like this was posted last year. Ah well.
