Technical Writer - (City withheld for privacy), Florida, United States
Do not fear my tech writing friend. This article is not to warn you about the job outlook for our kind.
It's to give a simple piece of advice:
Take any tech writing (or related) job that comes your way, at first. I started my first tech writing position when I was 22 and with a year and a half before I graduated.
Work hard on your resume. For tech writers, it is a portrayal of our attention to detail and editing abilities. Take it, and cover letters, very seriously.
