Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm excited to apply for the Technical Writer position at Flagship Engineering. As an organized and detail-oriented individual, I have a proven record of meeting deadlines and maintaining the communication chain to ensure that projects run smoothly. With my varied skills and experience, I believe I would be a great fit for this position.

At Crossover Software, I worked with the software engineers to plan, develop and write manuals for the latest software projects. I focused primarily on document changes to ensure that the electronic documentation was edited to reflect each of the software updates. I coordinated projects with the executive team to ensure that every task was completed and meetings went smoothly. As a result, I was able to improve the turnaround time by an average of three days for each update.

I adapt well to the changing needs of business and can anticipate changes ahead of time to ensure smooth transitions between updates. I enjoy researching new document management systems to streamline the revision process. I'm quick to pick up on the technical terminology within an organization and create a comprehensive library of terms for use within the company. One of the major projects I led at Crossover Software involved updating the operational procedures after they overhauled the software system. I wrote and edited many of the new onboarding manuals that helped decrease new hire turnover by 25% in the first year.
