Recruiters, hiring managers, and companies. If you advertise a content writer position, specify if you're open to international or country-specific writers (or if it's in-house or remote position). It doesn't make sense to get people to apply for a position only to tell them you are not accepting international or remote writers. It's a waste of time for both of us. Also provide a way for people to apply. Applying for a job shouldn't be like doing an exam where one needs to figure out things. It should be a straightforward process. Better yet, state your offer rate in the job post.

Technical Writer

According to Forbes, technical writing is #1 in a list of $100k remote jobs for people with just a bachelor's degree. But 98% of technical writers won't make that list because: 🎯 They don't have a portfolio 🎯 Their Resume is not ATS compliant 🎯 They don't practice writing regularly 🎯 They lie about their years of experience 🎯 They think they need some certification 🎯 They think technical writing is a low-hanging fruit 🎯 They don't have any personal projects they've worked 🎯 Not leveraging on contributing to open source projects . . What other mistakes are new technical writers making?

Want to know how to stand out in a competitive marketplace? Grow your skills by hiring yourself. That's also how you get yourself to do what you know you should... but don't. Instead of doing a new tutorial, hire yourself to write code to get a specific job done. Want to get better at communicating? Hire yourself as a technical writer. Want to improve your time management? Hire yourself as a time-billed consultant. By hiring yourself you put yourself self in the shoes of a hiring manager. And that perspective is essential if you want to be a desirable candidate. #softwareengineer #careerchange

Technical writer

I know a company that is looking for a talented proposal writer/tech writer. Full time, W2. They need someone who speaks the language of health IT systems, Agile development, and US Federal Government procurement. You don't have to be able to build health IT systems, but you do need enough of a background to know what matters when writing about it in a proposal.   On the proposal side, they value talent more than experience. On the tech writer side, they need attention to detail and the ability to pull relevant details out of subject matter experts. Familiarity with NIH is a plus. An understanding of what it takes to win in writing is key. Technical accuracy is important, but it's not enough.   Being on the Maryland side of the beltway is a plus, but they might go for someone remote who's got the talent.   They have mature processes and take them seriously, so I'm sure HR has a real position description that needs to be fulfilled. You'll have to talk to them to get those details. I don't even know how much they are paying.   What I do know is that this company is my favorite to work with in the whole world. Given the number of companies I've worked with and my published recommendations about proposal development, that says a lot. I will be advising them through the hiring process. If you have a little technical background and want to learn the fine art of proposal writing and pursuit strategy in a career changing kind of way, reach out to me and I'll pass your information on to them. #proposals #proposalwriting #governmentcontracting #techwriting #technicalwriting
