There are some excellent technical writing courses being offered in Israel and via distance learning. And with a steady stream of graduates entering the technical writing market on a steady basis, you’d think that finding outstanding candidates to fill jobs would be a cinch. But for some reason, a good man (or woman) is hard to find these days.

It takes more than being a great writer to make it as successful technical writer. I’ve written about this before and can’t stress it enough:  The “tech” in technical writer has value. Real value. I am not interested in debating the issue further, suffice it to say that after nearly 20 years in the business, experience has shown us that technical people make the best Tech-Tav writers. So if you are a native English speaker with strong writing skills and experience or training in engineering, computer programming, IT, mathematics, etc. and either live in Israel or are thinking about Aliyah, I invite you to send me your CV (even if you have never taken a technical writing course). Technical writing is a great option for native English speakers since it allows you to work and write in English while utilizing your technical skills and education. Not a bad combination. Let’s try and figure out whether technical writing could be the next step along your career path – we really enjoy training new people and providing opportunities for personal growth and professional development, so what have you got to lose?
