QUESTION 28 OF 28

What publication tools do you have experience working on during your time as a technical writer?

On top of the basic word processing tools, your interviewer will be looking to hear that you have familiarity with some of the various diagramming tools, online content management tools and other digital publishing tools. Be open and honest with what you are experienced with and don't hesitate to point out where you may be inexperienced, as long as you can point out that you are willing and able to learn new tools of the trade.

"For document processing, I would consider myself on expert on both Microsoft Word and Adobe FrameMaker. I have received extensive training on both programs. I also would consider myself very fluent in Microsoft Visio for creating robust diagrams within my projects. A newer system that I have been learning over the past two years is Calameo. My current organization utilizes the site to share my departments online through interactive publications."

Anonymous Answer

I am very experienced in Microsoft Word but I am overall inexperienced with any other publication tool. However, I am not unfamiliar with learning new software and I would be eager to learn any necessary or required publication tools.

Stephanie's Feedback

That's wonderful that you have considerable experience with Microsoft Word. However, Microsoft Word is generally viewed as a pretty basic publication tool, so I suggest doing some additional research on other publication tools and pitching your experience with those tools (or skills that you've built using Word that translate easily into other programs.)
