Hey all,
I'm new to this, so sorry if this has previously been
talked about.
I am a senior at Iowa State University majoring in
rhetoric and professional communication with a minor
in technical communication. It is now time for me to
begin applying for jobs and I really don't know where
to begin. I started off looking into the techical
writing area, but my main focus is writing, as my
technical skills are not that great. I do have
knowledge and skill in producing, designing and
editing business documents, such as manuals, guides,
brochures and newsletters, but it seems as if a
technical writers job is much more than that. I'm
wondering if anyone can help direct me in an area to
begin my career. Should I look at copyediting jobs, or
should I continue my search in technical writing? Or
is there a different area that would suit me? I open
for suggestions and would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Lisa Spencer
