Writing an Application that is Meant to be Read


Spread the love

My team is hiring a bunch of open positions right now, so I am finally getting a sense for what it's like on the other side of the table. We are fortunate to work with a great recruiting team, so we only look at candidates that are reasonably strong. While I don't have any funny stories about off-the-wall applicants, I have some gained some perspective on what the applications look like for someone reading them. And because technical writing is an area that many people transition into, rather than train for specifically, I want to articulate some ideas I have about application materials for transitions.
