How transferable are genres? To what extent are genres specific to a particular workplace or professional community (e.g., Cell tech, an Atlanta-based cell-phone manufacturer) and to what extent are they transferable to other, similar workplaces (e.g., technology manufacturers in general)? Imagine that you are moving from one technical communication job to another in a different company. What genre knowledge and experience do you imagine you'll be able to transfer, and what new knowledge or experience will you need to obtain in your new position?
