Help with Technical Writing/Documentation Specialist interview

Hi guys,

I’m about to have an interview for the aforementioned position in a couple of days and would truly appreciate your help on the matter.

I have over 10 years of experience in academia (English and English Literature) so that part of the job is covered.

However, I have never worked in technical environments as a tech writer or a documentation specialist and truly see this opportunity as a milestone in my professional career.

I have done some homework and found lots of similarities in terms of writing composition and use of language in general.

I have seen that most of the role comes from:

1. Knowing how to research for info (asking the dev team, meetings, etc.)
2. Knowing how to properly express ideas in a detail-oriented and specific way.

In terms of technical wording, I believe most of it comes with experience when you don’t have a background in software development.

Any tip that you may think could help me with the prep for the interview?

Thanks in advance.
