📣 Special announcement: The Not-Boring Tech Writer team (Kate and Chad) will be at Write the Docs Portland in May. Thanks to KnowledgeOwl's sponsorship, they’ll be wearing KnowledgeOwl and The Not-Boring Tech Writer t-shirts and giving out The Not-Boring Tech Writer stickers. If you're attending WTD Portland this year, please say hi to Kate and Chad, let them know what you think of the show, and swing by the conference swag table to grab some free stickers so you can flaunt your not-boring tech writer status with the world!_____________________________________________As prospective tech writers look for ways to get into the tech writing field, many pursue internships. And understandably so: internships give prospective tech writers hands-on experience in tech writing, giving them an opportunity to boost their skills and get a feel for the industry. However, finding that tech writing internship can be challenging, especially if you aren’t pursuing a tech writing related degree in university. That’s why, in this episode, we have German tech writer Joachim on the podcast, who’s six weeks into his first tech writing internship. Joachim has learned several lessons about how to find and thrive in a tech writing internship, which you’ll find helpful no matter where you live.
