Job titles can be deceptive
At 3di we tend to use the term ‘Information Developer’ because it reflects the fact that many of the authors we provide are developing information about how organizations work rather than how something technical works.
The basic skill set of a good technical author can also apply to other job roles. Your organization might not even use the title 'Technical Author' to describe the writing role you need to fill. If applicable, please substitute one of the following:
Content Analyst - Web Author - Intranet Author - Content Researcher - Information Developer - Information Analyst - Documentation Manager - Courseware Author - Procedure Author - Process Author - Document Engineer - Training Designer - Information Architect - Business Author - Knowledge Engineer
Perhaps you use another description? We would be interested to know. Each title reflects many different factors such as industry, company culture, departmental structure, backgrounds of existing team members, types of authoring tools used, development environment, and even fashion. The basic skill set is often identical and many of the best people in the profession could, given their range of expertise, use several of these titles. At 3di we understand what lies behind the title and ensure that the specialists we select are able to meet your expectations.
