      @@Lilliana99 I applied on indeed, I had experience from a copywriting internship (not relevant to technical writer but it helped), and no I didn’t have a professional portfolio, I just brought examples of what I’ve written previously. This is my first job out of college and my degree was English.

    I am new to this channel, so I haven't looked at its other videos. But it seems to me they should have a segment on what kind of impact Artificial Intelligence, or AI, will have on discussed careers. So, the question remains: How will AI affect the outlook for this career?

    • @CareerWatch
      @CareerWatch  2 года назад +3

      It's a great question, especially with GPT-3. For now, AI hasn't impacted this occupation. You still see plenty of job postings and the workforce hasn't gotten smaller. It could be a question of when., but we are not there yet right now.

    • @GeistInTheMachine
      @GeistInTheMachine 2 года назад

      I believe that a long enough timeline, if you are not part of the workforce maintaining the machines that maintain society, and/or maintaining those who maintain said machines, then I think you will probably have to get used to being hungry or doing without.

    What specific type of training or education is actually required for this?

    • @CareerWatch
      @CareerWatch  2 года назад

      I think it really depends on the company. The top companies probably require a bachelor's. From what I have noticed in Job postings, they don't specify what kind of major or degree they are looking for.
