Subject:Do you use persuasion in your career? From:Gretchen Hollis <misswoodstocker -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 6 May 2009 18:08:02 -0700
I'm a graduate student in technical communication, and I'm curious about how
technical writers might use persuasion in their careers.
- Please respond with your current job title and how you frequently
communicate with your co-workers (e.g., email, face-to-face, written, etc.).
- Can you describe a situation where you needed to persuade a co-worker
to use your idea? For example, have you ever discussed how you benefit the
company to your supervisor? Or, have you ever talked a developer or SME into
creating or changing something based on your idea?
- What were your results? Did you end up helping the company or your
career?
