ELIZABETH E. PRINCE 5240 Laurel Drive Concord, CA 94521 (925) 286-1466 betheprince@gmail.com Dear Staff Recruiter, My 14 years of success as a Senior Technical Writer for companies serving users nationwide, perfectly matches the qualifications you are seeking in a new member of your technical writing team. Your recruitment announcement will generate many qualified technical writing applicants. However, a few of the reasons you will want to talk to me include: my ability to write, edit and produce documentation for technical and non-technical audiences; an in-depth knowledge of professional technical writing processes and tools; and exceptional grammar, punctuation, syllabication, spelling, capitalization and style guide skills. In addition to a Bachelor’s degree in Communications (emphasis: Journalism) my other qualifications include: • A strong technical aptitude and an exceptional record of experience improving the quality, readability and consistency between all critical technical documentation, manuals, user help, product bulletins, marketing materials and on-line web content. • Excellent editing and design experience, a strong attention to detail and style and the organizational skills needed to manage revisions, updates, and improvements across all documentation. • A talent for deciphering technical materials and ensuring all technical documentation is accurate, clear, and complete and adheres to standards for graphics, coverage, format, style, terminology, and overall quality. • Superior skills using MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), Adobe Acrobat, Adobe FrameMaker, RoboHELP, Snagit, SharePoint and PaintShop Pro, as well as a strong understanding of HTML, CSS and Content Management Systems. • A friendly personality and the ability to build trusting relationships with executives, department managers, engineering/technical staff and various cross-functional internal and external stakeholders. I love writing and my success as a technical writer and editor begins with a positive attitude, willingness to listen, and the ability to produce materials that improve user friendliness of all technical documents, manuals, user help and on-line content. I would like to match the quality of experience with the needs of your organization. To arrange an interview, please contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address shown above. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing our mutual interests. Sincerely, Elizabeth E. Prince
