    This video was two years ago and they mentioned AI. Now AI is taking everything. But I think in regards about AI taking our jobs, we should utilize it to make our jobs easy. I just do hope the salary won't decrease lol. Thank you for this video. It's really helpful for aspiring technical writers. 😁😁

    Thank you so much for this interview..! I am in a career transition, back in school, with an INTJ personality. It has been difficult to find a career match but this is right up my alley- in values and skills!

    Hi! I was a photographer and before that, in the spa industry as an esthetician. Both jobs required 45 hour weeks of being around people, which was difficult as an introvert! I excel in grammar, have great computer skills, and interview well. There hasn't been a job I haven't gotten where I've had an interview, so at least I think I'm reasonably personable
    I graduated high school in 2008 and went straight into the work force. Is it typically required to have a degree or are you able to get certifications and begin a career? Thanks for such a great video!
    EDIT: Also, is there a way to find a "niche" in technical writing? I know quite a bit about photography, art, painting, etc. As a TW, do you have to work on a wide array of subject or is it feasible to find something with regular work that you're already knowledgeable in?

    Can you please me out in this:
    How much salary one should ask in a remote technical writer job, specially when you are starting but you have written a lot of good and popular tech blog articles.
    Should it be based on country? What if there is no market for tech writer in your country,
    I am really passionate in writing tech, can you please help me out 🙏
