The right opportunity

Sounds super loftily? Absolutely agreed. Nevertheless, we all have been in a spot where we had to make a one-in-a-lifetime decision regarding our job/occupation/profession... So how did you end up in the job you have now? There's not going to be a huge story about me as I decided to apply for the job I have now spontaneously. And guess what? Not to sound arrogant, one of the best decisions in my life

What does it take to become a technical writer?

Basically, a good knowledge of English grammar and spelling. Tech Writers frequently review what SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) write and make sure the 'voice' and 'tense' are consistent. A willingness to learn is essential, as you will need to be able to grasp and simply explain quite technical data. A related degree, such as in English is also helpful altho not essential; absent the degree you will need to show how your experience applies. You also have to be able to speak up and defend your work. In addition, be sure all of your writing is formal, no shortcuts, as I did above with altho. Everything you write is an example of your work. And they will probably want samples of your work. #tech writer #job search

Versatile and Talented Technical Writer and Certified Professional Resume Writer

I went back to school and took every technical writing course they had. I don’t think I could have done it any other way as there are so many nuances to technical writing that the average person wouldn’t imagine! It worked great for me!
