I am applying for the position of technical writer advertised on the Dragon Systems, Inc. Web site.
I have five years of experience as a technical writer. In my previous position I developed online help for the company's commercially available Internet access software, built and maintained an internal Web site, and wrote product specifications and internal user's guides. I have extensive work experience with popular desktop publishing and online help development tools, as well as graduate-level course work in multimedia.
Given the favorable publicity Dragon Systems, Inc. has received lately, my interest in your company should require no explanation. In a time when the market is flooded with products of questionable value, your speech recognition software stands out in that it has clear benefits and wide-reaching applications.
As a technical writer, I am particularly interested in the special considerations that must be involved in documenting a product for which the input device is voice. This characteristic of the software is likely to affect documentation design decisions, presenting an intriguing challenge to the communicator.
I would consider it a great opportunity to contribute to your outstanding product line as Dragon Systems brings this technology into the mainstream.
