Hello everyone,
I am Kalpana and am working as a senior technical communicator for a
multinational software company in Delhi-India.
My work involves writing end user manuals, rewriting error messages,
writing on-line help, working on the web, etc.
I am aware that there are lots fo jobs for technical writers all over
the US. However, I have been told that generally companies in the US
do not entertain Indians for the post of technical writers. Why is it
so?
I am writing for the US market as all my company's products are sold
in the US market. Infact our products are even bundled with Compaq and
HP devices.
Given such a scenario, why should companies hesitate to recruit
technical writers working in India?
Regards,
Kalpana.
