Business/Technical Writing?

We Answered:

Technical writing offers very good career opportunities.

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-09 Edition (bls.gov/oco/ocos089.htm#outlook), the “Opportunities should be best for technical writers and those with training in a specialized field.”

Technical Writing Questions?

We Answered:

Definitely apply. In today's world a college education is worth more than experience. I have done some research into the technical writing field and I have a couple of good books on the subject. In just about any field they need writers to transfer documentation into text so their people can understand, whether it be a presentation, manual or for sales purposes. There are different levels of technical writing such as in the more complex areas like science. In any case the technical writer needs to also be able to deliver their content to a group that sometimes isn't very complicated, which would be considered as nontechnical writing. Take me for example: I have a good work record but when it comes to applying for a job I lack a degree, so I am viewed as a worthless piece of scum, but I keep on trying.....Go for it.....

What are the various technical documentation written by Business Intelligence Analyst?

We Answered:

The technical documentation is similar to that of any business systems analysis (identifying business objectives, deliverables and measures; documenting workflow). In this case, however, the documents involve requirements for supporting business decisions and not the function of an application. All requirements should be modeled around business process (of course) but also business data perspective. At the core of BI analysis is the perspective of the data which will lead to proper data modelling.

If there is existing BI infrastructure (eg, Data Warehouse established and BI end-user tools identified) then the analysis process is focused on the dataset and latency requirements, etc. If there is no existing infrastructure then it is a whole new ballgame!

How do I get started writing ariticles and get paid for them? Technical or business oriented?

We Answered:

get a clip published somewhere --anywhere. then you have to be proactive and write proposal letters to magazines called "queries." You can find books and websites to help with this. Also there is an idiot's guide to writing magazine articles book that might help.

then use your clip to be included in the proposal letter to show what you can do --it builds on itself. . .

then get the latest issue of the writer's market (there are different ones for different kinds of writing.). This will give you specifics --what they will and won't publish, if they take freelance writing from individuals, what they pay, ect.

best of luck to you!!!

p.s. if you don't get enough answers --ask again in the literature or books section

(Technical business writing) propper preposition?

We Answered:

All sentences are fragments. The context seems to be the lading (not 'loading') of a container ship. I'd state it like this:

"Added 45 ft container on the outermost stack in the second tier."
- - - -
I have no idea what "rectifed" means. Do you mean "rectified"??

The last two don't make any sense unless there is a company called "Rectifed" and they own the 40 ft containers which are being loaded (not laded) in an undefined section of Bay No. 78 and No. 30.
