Software Suggestions
While you're in school, take as much advantage of educational discounts on
software as you can afford. (Most college bookstore sell academic software, or you can contact the software companies to see where the nearest academic dealer is.) If you're interested in graphics, get Photoshop
and Illustrator. Get RoboHelp or Doc to Help or some other help authoring
tool. Get Framemaker. If you know where you'd like to work, learn what
tools they use and get them and learn them.
Create your own samples. Build HLP and HTML-based resumes. The contents may not be too impressive, but look at the initiative. You can show that you
understand information chunking. Volunteer to create or maintain
newsletters for some group.
