Hi everyone,

I'm currently taking a Technical Writing course that's required for my A.A.S. Programming degree, and the first assignment the teacher assigned is for us to interview a professional in the field we want to work in.

The interview isn't supposed to be about programming, but how 'technical writing' is used in the field.

Some of the questions I'm supposed to ask are the most common forms or types of documents you use, how and how often do you use writing in the job, who are you writing to most of the time, problems you commonly see in the writing of co-workers, and what do you think makes good writing. I also have to throw in a few more questions, but that's a starting point.

Is there anyone here who would be willing to help me out and let me e-mail them some questions like the ones above? I've seen a few people ask to be interviewed on the forum before, but I know this one goes a bit in a different direction.

Thanks,

Cody

I just wanted to let you know I sent the e-mail the other day. Just want to make sure it didn't go your spam filter or anything.

You should have my reply already.

Hey, I never received a reply. If you could resend it, or send it as a PM on here, that would be great.

Maybe sending it as a PM would be best to ensure I actually receive it. I have to turn it in tomorrow.

Thanks

Try again. It never took, apparently.

[Root23]

Got it.

Thanks again.
