My Thoughts on Technical Writing

 I often feel that my writing isn't good enough, and I need to improve in the future. I tend to overthink my writing assignments. I started writing but kept restarting because I thought what I had written didn't sound right. I also feel like I lack creativity and struggle to express my thoughts clearly in writing. However, I find technical writing somewhat easier. Technical writing focuses on the reader rather than the writer.

Through my lessons on technical writing, I've learned that it doesn't matter how long the text is or how creative it is, as long as I communicate well with the reader. This means I need to focus on the information I want to share. My view of writing has changed since this class. Before, I didn't think about the reader when I wrote, whether for school or work. Now that I understand this, I will pay more attention to my audience, which will help me communicate better with my coworkers and bosses in my future jobs.

Future Presentations

I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.

Job Sites and Me

I have used Indeed to apply for jobs in the past, and I found it to be an excellent site for job searching. Indeed makes it simple to view jobs that are currently hiring. You can easily set your job preferences, including the type of roles you're looking for and your desired pay. The information about each job is clear and easy to understand. One of the best features is the ability to message employers quickly. You can save your resume and create a profile, so you don't have to keep entering your information every time you apply. Indeed also allows you to read reviews of companies, which can help you decide where to apply. Additionally, they offer job recommendations that match your skills and preferences. Overall, job sites like Indeed make applying for multiple jobs much more straightforward. They provide a simple way for you to find the right employers and find the right fit for your next job or career.
