QUESTION 3 OF 28

Do you have experience in developing white papers as part of your technical writing experience?

In the software industry, Red Hat uses white papers to explain complex terms in more simpler terms for their end users. If you do have experience creating white papers, discuss your experience in detail and explain what types of products you wrote them for. If you don't have direct experience, make sure that you can explain the basic premise of a white paper and talk about the skills that you have that give you the ability to write them effectively.

"In my current role in the medical device industry, I have a lot of experience writing white papers for prospective and current customers. In this role, our white papers were what I would call a blend between a technical document and a marketing document as they really outlined how new products would help solve a problem for our customers. The process of my writing required a great amount of technical knowledge and the ability to convey that knowledge in layman's terms."
