Article:Winner or Loser? Editing Can Make the Difference

By Janis Ramey and Marlene Miller
We made a rather surprising observation as judges for the chapter's recent online competition: Several entries showed the classic symptoms of poor editing, which (we assumed) would have been a routine part of any technical communicator's documentation process. Poor editing kept these entries from the winners' circle. Their content may be (and probably is) excellent, but poorly edited entries don't win awards.

A Three-Step Plan to Becoming a Technical Writer

Eye-wink The demand for qualified technical writers is constantly growing. For every software application or technology product that's developed, there's an instant need for accompanying documentation. In a global market increasingly dependent on high-tech products and services, it's virtually guaranteed that technical writing opportunities will never run dry.

Top 10 proofreading tips

1. Don’t check a job as though you’re reading the newspaper. You need to read slower than normal to notice, not just misspelt words, but irregular word space, full stops and commas. The smaller the type, the more careful you have to be. Condensed type is always a challenge.

2. Are all the various kinds of headings consistent? Are these the same all the way through your document? Is the space between them the same? Do they employ logical elements of importance, for example are your main headings larger and/or bolder than your subheadings?

“TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF” – ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH EXTRA CARE

“Could you please tell us about yourself?” This is a question that opens almost every interview. Unfortunately, many candidates fall at the first hurdle, stumped by this deceptively simple, yet surprisingly difficult to answer question. It can seem like a very ambiguous question to pose to a candidate at the beginning of an interview, but from the interviewer’s point of view, it is a simple ice breaker that will allow him to get to know the candidate better, refreshing in his mind the unique skills and selling points that he has to offer without having to re-read the resume all over again.

Ten Biggest Mistakes in Technical Writing

1. Forgetting the connection between quality and credibility.
• Quality in presentation reflects upon the material’s credibility. Examples – formal
report submitted on recycled paper (poor quality), proposals or documents with
misspellings, etc.
2. Treating email casually.
• Sign, proofread, do not use ALL CAPs, etc.
3. Misgauging your audience’s comprehension level.
• Understand your audience, non-engineers and non-scientists may not comprehend
your technical language. Different disciplines use different technical language.
