			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is <strong>Kimli</strong>, and I&#8217;m a <strong>Technical Writer</strong> in Vancouver, BC. I am a <strong>Documentation Specialist</strong>, and I&#8217;ve been told I&#8217;m very good at it. I have ten years of experience producing documentation for all levels of computer expertise; from highly technical engineers who swear by their midichlorian count to reluctant users who haven&#8217;t the foggiest idea what a &#8220;midichlorian&#8221; is. This website exists to serve as an online portfolio; a small sampling of the work I&#8217;ve done in the past as well as an in-depth look at my methods and style.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s good job etiquette to talk about how you love what you do, but I&#8217;m for real, dawg: I love documentation. I love technology, writing words about technology, learning processes, teaching people how to follow said processes &#8211; all of it. I like to throw myself into the task at hand and <strong><em>learn</em></strong> before I attempt to document; handily turning myself into a veritable cavern of information. I&#8217;m an incredibly fast learner with a passion for showing off how much I know, and I always smell great (not usually a requirement, but definitely appreciated).</p>
<p>Some of my more dazzling accomplishments include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stepping into an organization with extremely limited technical support and building a fully-structured support system that ensures all client requests are handled within 24 hours and fully resolved to the client’s satisfaction</li>
<li>Turning highly technical information from developers into comprehensive, user-friendly learning material for new staff and clients</li>
<li>Working closely with various teams within the company to absorb their processes, and turning that knowledge into training material for employees</li>
<li>Creation and execution of extremely detailed training plans for new hires</li>
<li>Writing an engaging, informative Employee Handbook from the ground up that reflects the values, mission, and culture of the company</li>
<li>Planning and driving to completion company-wide rollouts of new internal tools</li>
<li>Designing and building an intranet for 110 employees, and working with managers to write content for their team spaces</li>
</ul>
<p>Documentation is rarely loved by anyone, and is more often than not a big pointy thorn in the side of your brightest engineers. Why not let them get back to doing what they do best, and leave the instructional material to me? I&#8217;ll work with your team to learn the tool/product/process, and turn that information into highly detailed but user-friendly instructional material for your customers/staff/mom. I&#8217;ve worked with all kinds of software and have experience with XML, CSS, Java, Citrix, other Web Services and <a title="Resume" href="http://manuallabour.org/resume/">more</a>!</p>
<p>Take a look at my <a title="Portfolio" href="http://manuallabour.org/portfolio/">work</a>, review my <a title="Resume" href="http://manuallabour.org/resume/">resume</a>, gawk at the <a title="Adulations" href="http://manuallabour.org/adulations/">accolades</a> I absolutely did not pay for, then drop me a <a title="Contact Kimli" href="http://manuallabour.org/contact-kimli/">line</a>. I may just be that extra spark your world is missing!</p>
