Abstract:
This paper describes how our experience in striving to
hire Information Designers led us to identify the very basic cognitive and humanistic traits that make up a successful technical communicator. It also shows how,
once identified, such traits can be used to unveil hidden
potentialities which can help turn a non expert candidate
into a successful and gratified Information Designer and
communicator.
This paper focuses mainly on psychological traits, not on
technical skills, that have been extensively discussed in a
series of other papers.
