Senior Technical Writer Reviews
What is it like working as a Senior Technical Writer?
August 2014
How Stressful It Was.

Stay organized and delegate work. Be prepared to pick up projects that no ones wants to own. Doing these projects make you I dispensable.

Get Your Foot In The Door.
Senior Technical Writer:
Right out of college, the largest obstacle I faced was getting a writing job with no prior experience in the field. I finally convinced a small, start-up company to hire me on a trial basis.
They gave me the job nobody else in the company wanted - revamping the template for a complex research report. I had 90 days to earn my job.
I worked day and night rebuilding not only the report, but also the entire report construction process. By the end of 90 days, the company had implemented my changes and production quadrupled.
I got the job and within a year became Director of Research Writing.

Great Job
Senior Technical Writer:
Pros: Interesting job with ability to do a lot of communications within the company. Using new tools for tech writing and communications.
Cons: Company doesn't do any planning for my area. I would like to be able to do more project management of tech writing projects but they like the ad hoc basis of service.
