I'm sure there's a line that can be drawn between these perspectives about the job ad below:
- being a snobby technical writing professional who demands any contact from recruiters to be good writing
- being a non-snobby technical writing professional who accepts that non-writers struggle with writing, which is what created the void that I, as a technical writer, fill during my time at work.
It feels like the line is blurry when I see writing sins:
- Starts a sentence with "am" instead of "I am" jumped out and bit me.
- No space between "set!" and "This" in the third line.
- The last line ends with two periods [..] which means the writer either wanted to use an ellipsis [...] or accidentally typed two periods to end the sentence, which is a typo.
I'm not "dinging" the recruiter for having a cute kid as their profile picture, but I question why that is even a thing I've seen for a while. It's almost disturbing to think that you would want a picture of your child as your contact picture on a professional network. Is it appropriate on a network designed to promote connections between professionals? I answer, "No." Flat-out. Full-stop. That said, I understand having a cute kid as your profile picture on Facebook, but not on LinkedIn.
