Week 1, Post 3

DaMarcus: I was surprised that the technical writing that goes on in your profession only takes the form of emails and memos. I would think that one would have to write reports or something like that at a financial business sector. Either way communication seems to be a very important part of what you do, so to be proficient at that is a must.

Bsilver: Seems like a career counselor not only has to be technically proficient with her own work, but with other people's as well. You would have to be especially careful when telling people what the correct path to take in life when helping them find a job. I wouldn't want to have that pressure, but then again you would get a lot of satisfaction knowing you helped someone find a good career.

Monica: A diet plan is an interesting form of technical writing that I never really considered. It would be interesting to see how to write one because it would have to be very specific to that patient. I would imagine that the number of different foods to choose from would be both a positive and negative thing in that you would have a variety of options, but would also have to be careful to take into consideration allergic reactions and mixing of different foods.
