For this blog, I found three technical writing jobs that I am interested in. The jobs are at KeyBridge Technologies in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, CoreLogic in San Diego, California, and The Aspen Institute in Washington, DC.
The first position is for a Documentation Specialist at KeyBridge Technologies in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They provide business solutions to assist organizations optimize their assets, knowledge, and service. They provide learning solutions through custom courseware development, professional support through onsite staff, information technology like web and database development, logistics support to military and Federal customers, as well as 3D Immersive Environments like high quality architectural renderings. A Documentation Specialist acts as an onsite company liason. They must analyze requirements, prepare document outlines, and develop technical content. They also write management summaries, implementation, and quality assurance plans. The skills I would learn would mostly be on the job. The technical content I would be required to know would very depending on the business I would be partnering with. The most important skill I would need to develop would be my research skill so that whichever project I was working on, I could familiarize myself with the technical content.
The second position is as a Technical Writer for CoreLogic in San Diego. CoreLogic serves financial services and insurance agencies. They gather data and analytics to help customers make smart business decisions. The Technical Writer's job is to write copy for operation and maintenance manuals and technical publications. They prepare written text and coordinate layout and organization of manuals and documents. They also edit documents and tutorials, as well as research available technical data. To prepare for this job I would need a basic knowledge of insurance. I would obtain this knowledge by taking the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Foundations of Insurance Regulation Course.
The final position is for a Editorial Associate at The Aspen Institute in Washington, DC. They are an educational and policy studies organization that fosters leadership and provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. An Editorial Associate provides editorial support to the communications department. This include writing, editing, content development, and image materials. The communications department produces materials for the institute's magazine, blog, annual report, website, brochures, collateral materials, and more. I have quite a bit of experience writing and editing for the web, but to brush up on my skills I would take a blogging course online through Full Sail University.
