Hi all
The company I work for has recently advertised 5 Tech Writer roles with more
on the way.
I've been screening the applications and am stunned at the number of form
letters, typos and resumes with no relevance to the role, all coming from a
group of wordsmiths. Is this industry standard?
An application letter should be where a Tech Writer shows off their skill in
both layout and language.
Very few applications make any reference to the advertised positions or
attempt to address the skill criteria. As non IT roles I am having a
difficult time finding one person let alone the half dozen required.
For those wondering where they could advance their Tech Writer training in
order to stand out, consider industry (manufacturing or medical) because
from where I sit these Tech Writers are as rare as hen's teeth...
Give me a reason to interview, please!!!
Cheers
Kate
