If you’re interested in applying for the Technical Writer position at Princess Auto, I invite you to submit your resume to the e-mail address listed in the posting (careers@princessauto.com), or apply directly through their Web site. Note that according to the information we had received, this post expired some time ago.

I quickly reviewed their site this evening and didn’t see any Technical Writer positions listed.

All that considered, from what you’ve written above, you may be interested in the Technical Writer position at MacDon Industries. Here’s a direct link to the online post:

I’m writing to inform you and members of the STC Manitoba chapter that the Technical Editing Special Interest Group (SIG) of the STC is now accepting applications for two $1400 scholarships from students pursuing studies in technical communication. Could you please pass along to chapter members and university students the scholarship announcement copied below? The Technical Editing SIG would like to see more applications from students outside of the United States this year, and we hope that chapter outreach will help us achieve this goal.

Please let me know if there is someone else I should be contacting or if there is any way that I can help you share this information with students.

Thanks for your help!

I wish to pose a question concerning Technical Illustrators. As far as a specialized field, what programs must a Technical Illustrator be certified in? I understand that a Technical Illustrator must be familiar with AutoCad and Inventor, but are there any other fields that require certification to be considered a Technical Illustrator?
For those of you who have experience in the industry, has a job called upon you to be proficient in such design software? If so, where did you receive such training or how did you acquire your certification?
This avenue of Technical Communication is very interesting to me, and I would like to persue such skills in the near future.
Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to any correspondences.
