Technical Writing Skills

Over the course of this past semester I have grown from someone who did not know much about technical writing into a skilled technical writer.  Throughout this year I have learned many things a skilled technical writer needs to know.  I learned how to be able to write clear cut instructions to present to someone.  Instructions need to be well written and have no holes where the reader could be left guessing.  I also learned how to properly plan a presentation for class.  A great presentation needs to be well written and also have visuals to go along with it.  I believe if i was hired to work for a company I would be able to create an effective presentation to present to my peers or to the customer that would contain all the information needed and be very informative.  I also believe I would be able to persuade my audience to my stance based off of the research I will do for the presentation as well.  I also am able to work great in groups when making a presentation because of this course.  Technical writing has allowed me to learn how to efficiently work in a group towards a common goal in making a proposal presentation.  I learned that each member has a specific job, but also must all work as a team to have the best overall project.  I think I could be a huge part in contributing to any company because i would be a great team player in any group setting.  I have learned to be a follower if i need to be but I can also lead if that is what is needed for the group to be successful.  Another thing this technical writing class has taught me was to be more well rounded and marketing myself for a job interview.  I learned how to type resumes to really sell myself and how to answer questions during an interview.  Overall throughout this technical writing class i have not only became a better technical writer but a better person altogether.  I believe that with the help of taking this course I am ready for a job interview and with any type of task that is given to me.
