Basically technical writing
revolves around latest technology, Processes and Products. Apart of being
creative one should be upto date regarding new technology. Drafting training
manuals, user manuals, brochures, online help files etc. is not really an
innovative movement except their categorization below the phrase
"Technical Writing" is comparatively fresh experience in India.
The outlook for technical writing in India as a profession is incessantly mounting
with good pay and with other widespread job alternatives like Information
Technology and administration in India.
Responsibilities of Technical
writers are collecting technical information and rewriting it and outcome
should be easily understandable by non-technical inhabitants. Creating documents
of technical write up needs a great deal of study and subject matter awareness.
This is the reason most of the technical writers are subject matter professionals.
To become a technical writer you must have exceptional research and writing skillfulness.
You have to give something unique to the readers because rewriting or
paraphrasing never works in technical writing. Nowadays there are many
companies providing technical writing in
India
and if you want to be recruited for the same then only your skills and
awareness of IT sector will help.
Now we come to fiscal part of
technical writing. STC India of 2012 salary states that the standard pay of a
technical content writer in India
is Rs 11,12,360 annually. Actually it is very less what a technical writer gets
in US. There a person starts his/her career being technical writer with $40000
and goes to $80000 annually. This information is shared by Richard D. Persen in
STC Austin Chapter salary survey 2012. Salaries are low in India because living cost in India is also low.
