One of the first things that I learned how to do in my English 365 course was to write a memorandum. I had no prior experience writing memorandums prior to this class experience. Writing memorandums became an every class period exercise. I also learned how to use active words and phrases after putting together a group proposal to change our university's scheduling system.
Technical writing is concise. The first group project that our class had to work on stressed getting straight to the point but to be as clear as possible. Another classmate and I had to create instructions about how to create and upload a YouTube video. My partner for this project was of a different nationality, so it was difficult understanding his accent. We worked through these difficulties and presented a great project.
Speaking in front of crowds, whether large or small, has never been a problem for me. I have great experience with all of Microsoft Office software. For an individual oral and visual presentation I chose to use Prezi instead of powerpoint. Using Prezi was indeed a challenge, but I conquered the challenge and put together a great visual presentation. I learned how to cut out redundant phrases while working on this project. I also learned how to avoid using filler words like "um" and "like."
I am a very strong technical writer thanks to all of my experiences in college and specifically in my English 365 course. I am well suited to do any job that requires technical communication. Along with my technical communication skills, I am patient, obedient, respectful, and honest. These are all qualities I believe employers are seeking for in job candidates.
