Pointers that may help in my career

Kristin Sutter
After I read the readings I found that there were many aspects discussed in them that I will be able to apply to my future career. The article on Improving your Technical Writing really helped me to be able to identify some important aspects of technical writing that I had not considered before. For one the reading stressed the fact that technical writing comes in many forms and that the form of technical writing that you do is going to depend on the rules that you should follow. I think that this is important to keep in mind while trying to write technically. I also know that this is true after reading several of the interviews that people in our class conducted. In every interview I read about there was a different technical writing needed depending on the field of work.
The article also discussed how it is important to know your reader, keep things simple and, be consistent in your writing. I think that this is important because firstly if you don’t know who your writing for or what their histories are then there is no way that you can technically write effectively. Also I can see why keeping things simple would be important because if your reader cannot understand what you are saying because you are using terms to technical then the message is not being conveyed correctly. Lastly if the work is not consistent than the reader will question the validity of what you are trying to say. I can see how all three of theses aspects would be important in the field of real estate. Clients have to be able to trust you if they are going to buy from you so what you tell them needs to be consistent. Also as I said before they need to be able to understand what you are talking about so, simplicity is important as well. Lastly you need to be able to know where they are coming from to meet their needs effectively.
