Prompt 1: Discuss the
importance of Technical Writing for professional careers. How can it help them
in their career? What specific skills can be learned? Why is it worth the time
and money? How can this class enhance a person’s resume?
---------
Technical Writing is an important skill professionals can
have. It helps them write in a way that keeps
the reader in mind. They learn how to
make the page look appropriate for the consumer. It is writing that is attentive to as many
people as possible. These people include
the company, the public, and the customer.
Anyone taking Technical Writing has a leg up because they
have learned to write in a way that lets potential employers know they have a
skill set that most people do not have.
Also, modern day Technical Writing considers writing using technology. Social media is big with companies now, and
taking Technical Writing (my course in particular) teaches students how to
write a blog, post on social media platforms, and develop a website. The social media aspect by itself is a good
reason to spend the money to take the course.
