I need some guidance and direction. My husband is a programmer and he is trying to get some input from the Tech Writers he works with. No one seems to offer courses specifically for Tech Writing. Sincerely, Becki Yoh Dear Becki, Regarding your question about technical writing. You can find some education information there as well as other articles I've written about starting out in the technical writing field.
Many companies hire technical writers to document policies and procedures for auditors.
This means you would actually sit with someone and write down the steps they follow to do a function. Technical writers must be excellent communicators. Verbal and written skills must be of the highest caliber. A technical writer must be methodical, organized, and succinct. Most companies prefer to hire a writer with a degree.
