I'm currently working as a Technical Writer for my school, and I like it and I'm good at it
-What kind of work does that entail? Have you written anything I could read? -I'm always curious about the writers we have around here. I enjoy reading peoples original work.
Ah, it's not particularly interesting, to be honest, haha. It's just internal documantion for my school's Registrar's Office. I have to present new technology and the office's procedures as clearly and efficiently as possible. So for example, when our new printers moved into the office, I had to take pictures of the printers, go through the instruction manual, and create instructions on how to operate the printers in simple terms, but with enough detail to make sense. Then I created a second document for our internal wikipedia page detailing any troubleshooting solutions that us student techs can use if the printers are malfunctioning. Another example would be having to learn the ins-and-outs of our new timeclock punch-out system. It can seem a bit dry, but I've always been interested in how things work and why, and that translates well into the job. I was the kid that would always push buttons to see what happens, the only difference is I write what happens now, haha.
