Jobs prospects in Technical Writing and Communication?

We Answered:

Tech writers need tech background plus excellent communications skills, good writing, editing, proofreading. You need to know your grammar & spelling, and know your computer's innards, too! Yes, there is a demand for tech writers because very few engineers have a really good command of the language and can explain things except in jargonese to a fellow engineer. Ditto for the computer programmers, architects, networking experts, etc. If you have a really superior command of the language, excellent grades, e.g. in English Composition, know the difference between "lead" and "led", etc, good grasp of logic, and know your engineering or 'puters or networks or whatsits, you could have a really good career.

BTW, a top-notch tech writer will have clients in Canada, US, UK, and more. The need is worldwide and the best ones are in worldwide demand. This is a rare constellation of multiple skills.

Want details about technical writing jobs?

We Answered:

A technical writer translates technical jargon into layman's terms, for things such as systems specifiations, engineering manuals, marketing materials, customer user guides.

The writer takes documentation from the techies, in whatever form they give it, written, verbal, through group meetings. This can be done remotely.

The salary depends on expertise in the field, ability to work independently. From $30,000 to $80,000

Joyce Said:

What is the level of technical writing jobs.........?

We Answered:

Technical writing is very important, especially manuals for installation and such. However, it is not viewed as totally mission critical. I have seen several instances where CEOs don't care what goes in the docs, as much as if the docs just get shipped. Their attitude is "nobody reads the manuals anyway".

They are certainly above clerical grade jobs, though. And a good writer can get the information they need from engineers in time and turn it around quickly.
