As a Technical Writer, you make technical information easily understood. Technical manuals, detailed specifications, online help, web content and training materials are just a few examples of the documents you create.
You define the audience and purpose of your document; determine the technical level, tone and organization; and choose your document's delivery method (print or electronic). You are accurate. You thoroughly research your subject by interviewing experts and users, and testing the product you're writing about. You use page layout or word processing programs to create your documents and design graphics.
Your creativity, communication skills and ability to understand and simplify complex material are valuable assets to your readers and to your future.
