Imagine having a rewarding
high-paying job that lets you use your creativity and writing
talent to help people understand how to do something.
As a full-time or
freelance technical writer, you will write instructions
to help people use a product or service. Listed below are some
examples of the many interesting projects that technical writers are
involved with. Which of the following can you imagine doing?
 | Writing user manuals
that describe, step-by-step, how to use anything from computer
software to cars to kitchen appliances. |
| Writing
assembly instructions for toys, furniture, and other items.
|
| Writing procedures
manuals for businesses. For example, you might write a
company's human resources manual to explain procedures for
employees to take time off, get reimbursed
for expenses, etc. |
| Writing
online help documentation. When people need help using a
software program they can click the Help button to get answers to
their questions. (To see an example of help documentation, click
on "Help" at the top of your Internet browser.)
|
| Writing
for the Internet. You could write web pages describing a
company's services or explaining how to use the web site.
|
| Writing
training manuals. |
|
 If
you can communicate clearly in writing, you can be a technical
writer. Now don't just wait , get yourself a break into technical writing. |
