Hello john ,
Thank you for helping aspiring technical writer’s like me ,
I’ve been in programming field as a programmer for about 1 yr , now I’ve discovered that i really like writing and that is why decided to go into tech writing. Please give me some information/guidance as to where i can get sample user guides. I’ve looked for user guides on net but there are different formats , so which one to adopt and how long it should be so it should be appealing to the interviewer.

Thanking in Anticipation

I ma Sharmila, working as a technical writer in an MNC – hardware profile. I have done my Me in applied electronics.

I fpund some usefull information here. Thanks!

Sometimes I feel that (in my point of view) the tech writers are not considered as essential resource for the company. I do get frustrated because of this thinking. how to make the company and other (engineers) to feel that tech writers really play vital role in the company?

I’m a biology teacher who really finds a certain joy in writing and creating a finished product. Is a career path in technical writing feasible?
