Hi,
I want to pursue a career as a Technical/Scientific Writer, after acquiring
experience in this area as part of various other positions I have held. Could
you please tell me what you typically do (e.g., what types of projects you
work on) as a Technical/Scientific Writer, and what the full-time salary
expectations might be. Any tips regarding interviewing for positions in this
field would be greatly appreciated.
