TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Iâm interviewing with a large manufacturer Friday. The position is for
a writer of service manuals, something I have experience with both as a
writer and a consumer (I had a short career as an industrial repair
tech).
Iâm listing some questions to ask peers and managers Iâll be working
with (confident, arenât I?).
So far itâs:
- is there document testing implemented?
- what is the legal review process (re. writersâ liability, especially
in repair of consumer products)
- SME availability, review requirements (will I get it back? annotated?)
- Work environment (individual offices? âone big happy family rumpus
roomâ?)
Of course thereâs the standards: benefits, etc.
What else would/did you ask?
Thanks,
Dave
