FWIW, I did some searching in the job databases, looking specifically in
the computer/IT/communications area, and could find NO jobs for "Document
Writer" -- everything was for Technical Writer or Procedural/Technical
Writer, with a vast range of skills and experience required, from
entry-level to very advanced, and from no technical knowledge to primarily
a "techo" with writing skills. (In fact, some job search sites, eg Seek and
JobNet, have "Technical Writer" as a choice, but not "Document Writer".)
I think the relevant thing is that the standard job title in the industry
is "Technical Writer" -- possibly qualified by "Senior" or "/Programmer" or
"/Engineer" for those with more experience and/or more technical
qualifications. The title "Document Writer" is NOT standard or commonly used.
Hope this helps.
