Job Details: technical writer
| Job Title: | technical writer |
| Company: | Cyberscribe Solutions Inc. |
| Position Type: | Permanent |
| Pay Rate: | DOE |
| Skills: | technical documentation |
| Date Posted: | Mar-26-08 |
At Cyberscribe, there is no such thing as a typical day. Because our focus is on technical communication and not on a specific industry, the possibilities are endless.
As one of our full-time technical communicators, you can expect to find yourself in charge of multiple small projects, contributing as a team player on larger efforts that involve specialized contractors, working toward project management responsibilities, writing internal documentation and corporate communication materials, and exploring the reaches of your own skills and interests.
In terms of technological experience, the following lists some of the tools that we regularly use:
• Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign; DreamWeaver; Illustrator; PhotoShop)
• Acrobat Professional; Acrobat Distiller
• FrameMaker (structured and unstructured)
• Flare, RoboHelp, AuthorIT; XMetaL
While you are not expected to know all of these applications, preference will be given to technical communicators who can demonstrate at least a cursory understanding of their capabilities and an aptitude for picking up new software tools.
ABOUT YOU
Ideally, we are looking for a strong technical communicator who thrives on the challenge and variety of project-based contract work but is not necessarily interested in the burden of self-marketing, financial feast or famine, contractual risk and other uncertainties associated with being a sole proprietor.
It goes without saying that you must be able to demonstrate a mastery of clear, concise and consistent language use. We'll give preference to people with an interest in or knowledge of languages other than English, and/or broad industry experience.
If you consider yourself an out-of-the-box problem solver who is focused on results and customer satisfaction, who derives professional validation from a job well done, who has never met a piece of software that can't be tamed and can spot a typo at 50 yards, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
