I'll just go down the line:

After having taken into account the four perspectives on technical writing, I think that STC's, "A Career in Technical Writing" draws more on defining what technical writing is and how it is used in the workplace.
In the article titled, U.S. Department of Labor, it drew more upon what the varying styles and kinds of writers there are, and the training they need to perform their job duties. It also gives the working conditions of these professionals and a typical work day. This article even gave such insight as the job opportunities for these technical writers and salaries they are generally paid for what they do.
The article on What is Technical Communication, gives an overview for providing a definition of Technical Communication and writing.
Finally, the article about Improving Your Technical Writing, basically outlines how to go about being a more clear and concise technical communicator through your writing
All four of these pieces of work gave there own definition and perspectives on technical writing. There are varying amounts of skill and training needed for the different jobs that each made reference to.
The article from the U.S. Department of Labor was very helpful to me. By giving using information about the varying styles and training needed. As a future financial analyst, this type of information will be useful for aiding me in my development for concise but up-to-date inventories of money market accounts and projections.
