Breakout-of-The-Box Technical Communication Work
Help your clients compete in today’s marketplace while making yourself an indispensable and irreplaceable asset: Help them improve their products, not just their technical communication.
Usability Testing
Don’t limit your thinking to testing the usability of your technical communication deliverables. Expand your mind—and your services—to including testing the usability of products themselves.
Chances are your clients:
- Have never heard of usability testing
- Or have heard about it only in its full-blown glory and can't afford it
- Or have no idea how to do it
Be a hero. Design product usability testing that fits your clients' budgets.
Product Interface Design
Ever hear a programmer say “I don’t care about user interface; my job is simply to make the product work.” Talk about a wonderful opportunity to:
- Help your clients compete in today’s marketplace
- Make your technical communication job easier (by making a product more intuitive)
- Become an integral and valued part of the development team
Your technical communication skills make you the ideal candidate for designing effective user interfaces—as long as you insert your expertise early in the development cycle.
This is a win-win situation. Take advantage of it.
