I have an interview scheduled in a few days for a "Technical Writer/Editor position. Binge watching all your videos now. Thank you, great work and content.
Hey Jonathan, I've been working as a technical writer for 2 and a half years, I mainly write user manuals and functional specifications for software applications. Now, what are the certificates that I can acquire to move up to a higher level in this field and In the company I'm working for?
In 1984, when I graduated with a BA in English I was accepted at Carnegie-Mellon University to pursue a Masters in Professional Writing with the idea that I wanted to write automotive repair manuals and similar things. Even though the Veterans Administration was paying all actual school related expenses, the $288.00/mo. living expense money I was receiving does not enable one to exist in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh and my schooling stopped there. It would also be impossible to have an outside job and still work on a Masters degree while competing with the smartest Asians and others from around the world. Now at age 70 I'm in The Philippines and trying to get proofreader and similar positions online and have learned that I need to study The Chicago Manual of Style and subsequently ran across this very informative video about what I missed out on all those years ago. I wonder if it is too late to continue on? I'm not very confident that I could find a school in The Philippines that could teach this subject matter with any degree of competency.
