What do employers look for when hiring technical writers?
When you interview for a technical writing position, show the employer evidence that you are flexible and learn quickly, that you work well individually and in a team, and that you accept criticism gracefully and can meet tight deadlines. Invite her to study your portfolio that displays knowledge of business conventions and practices, a wide range and depth of subject matter, and, of course, flawless style, grammar and puncuation. Demonstrate strong interpersonal communication, analysis, and time-management skills. If you can achieve all these goals, you are the ideal candidate employers are searching for.
