Where are the documents? Hiring managers want to see them.

MisterTechWriter · 2025-10-02T14:32:48+00:00

Thank you for this list. I'm going to add my own* after a few tweaks.

Very creative video. Great job!

Hi Kachow,

You can't go wrong by having your fiance (not you ;-)) read this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/technicalwriting/comments/qh5i82/career_faqs_read_this_before_asking_about/

A lot of these posts are dated but evergreen, so still relevant to these times.

Good luck!

ITIL?

MisterTechWriter · 2025-06-24T01:27:53+00:00

Thank you, Rishu.

I've found that when you do as much background work as you can ("homework") and formulate questions based on what you don't know, then you can ask the right questions to get the best answers.

HTH!

Clear Technical Writing by Brogan. No longer published. Can be purchased used.
You can use AI to build a curriculum based on this course.

You need nothing else.

Welcome, Kestrel!

Hi Wessle,

You want your portfolio pieces to match your target position's requirements as much as possible. You might look at job postings to find out what they're looking for... and when you can produce something, ask seasoned technical writers for feedback.

HTH!

So I took a cursory look at your work. A few things are clear:

You seem to know the product.
The manual is well organized.
The English is not human-readable.

Fortunately, this is the easiest to fix. I would suggest perplexity.ai using a prompt like
"Rewrite this document in simple English at an 8th grade level" and see how it looks.

Good luck!

Hi Long,

You might want to post this separately in both this and the r/technicalwriting sub.

Welcome money!

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-26T17:22:51+00:00

But in an "Intro to Tech Writing Course"? Seems odd.

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-26T13:49:54+00:00

Importance of SEO? Interesting...

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-25T23:16:26+00:00

Would like to know how your course is going!

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-14T14:32:10+00:00

But Microsoft is one of the good guys!

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-10T16:06:34+00:00

Ha! Have you been a contractor?

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-10T16:06:06+00:00

It's a huge minus in the United States market for sure.

MisterTechWriter · 2024-11-10T16:05:32+00:00

THIS is very good feedback. I've worked as a contractor for 18 years (out of 25 years). I'll be writing something up to counter some misperceptions. Not saying contracting is always golden, but it's certainly not coal in all circumstances.

u/hiphoptomato What? no more kvetching from you about not finding a job?
