Social hour for documentarians

Join us for social hour! We want to hear what tech comm questions are on your mind. And in case your mind feels blank at the end of a busy week, we’ll be ready to draw from this growing collection of back-pocket topics:

• Have you ever served as a mentor/mentee? What was that experience like?
• What are some challenges of working remotely as a technical writer?
• Share your best tips for managing tight deadlines.
• How important are soft skills (communication, empathy) versus hard skills (coding)? How do these skill sets complement one another in technical writing?
• What is your favorite type of documentation? What do you like most about it?
• Share a success story where improving documentation had a significant impact on your users.
• What are some best practices for creating documentation that is easily translatable into other languages?
• How do you avoid over-engineering your docs?
• Share a professional development goal you are currently working towards.
• What literary genres have influenced your writing style?
• What metrics or indicators do you typically use to evaluate the impact of your docs?

Bring more questions and thoughts, and we’ll share knowledge as well as get to know each other.
