Hi John,
Thanks for your informative session.I am 27 now having Bachelors in Mathematics with poor grades.I am currently employed with the government and previously worked with Thomas Cook in Bangalore as customer care officer.
I fed up with my mechanical work and I am contemplating a permanent career shift now.I think I am having a flair for writing and I have just joined for an on line programme from TWB in Bangalore.
Do you think that with this modest background and almost an “old” age for starting a new career, can I ever get in to any good MNC in India ( Particularly in Bangalore).
Please elaborate the scope of TW in the Middle East and in Europe at various levels for a person like me.I am planning to work there after some time.
Thanking you in advance

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?
