    Apart from any preliminary assessment, the job interview can make or break a candidate’s shot at being hired.
    If you’re a job seeker with an interview lined up (or a recruiter who’s hiring a technical writer for the first time), keep reading. In this video, we cover some of the most-asked technical writer interview questions, along with appropriate answers.

    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.

      @@beautyfromwithin8825 apply for entry level and get your foot in the door. Depending on where you live it may not be very competitive. For example, copywriting is very saturated these days, but technical writing isn’t. So it should be a bit easier to get noticed by employers
