"Attention to detail has helped me in virtually every project I have worked on as a technical writer. A specific example is when I created a white paper about a complex topic related to software development. I use the term 'tech' throughout the document. However, Microsoft's spellchecker automatically corrected this to 'text' without my knowledge. Since I always review my documents several times before releasing them, I noticed this error and was able to correct it before the document was published and distributed."
