Why work as a technical content writer?
Technical content writing is a great way to work in tech while also improving your writing skills.
Some software jobs need months of stressful onboarding to be productive. Maybe you have to learn how to use an advanced text editor - you might need to adopt a new coding style before you can see some results for your effort.
With content writing, onboarding is much quicker and easier... You get up to speed faster and feel productive sooner. And you still learn about tech, be it programming, algorithms, or software development practices, with much less pressure.
Each article you work on is a short project that you can finish within a few working days. And once it’s done, you have a chance to review what went well and what you can improve. Writing is a great way for you to learn, grow, and be able to have your knowledge on show.We don’t just employ people who want to learn about tech. We also have developers who want to pass on some of their knowledge by creating specialist examples for us. Occasionally we have staff who are about to finish coding careers and want something part-time that still values their experience while giving them some flexibility in their schedule.
