Time to Move On – Stéphane Graber

I wish more companies screened for writing competency. The better the writer, the smaller the 1000 word hurdle is. With async & remote work this skill is as important as ever.

A good technical writer produces clear and concise text. A 1000 word essay about the company is more of an exercise in creativity (and one might even say an exercise in "brown nosing").

You are writing why you LOVE Canonical though. It's not enough to like them or respect them. You have to LOVE them. For 1000 words.

I'd do that, in exchange for Canonical writing a 1000 word essay on what they love about me. Employment is a two-way street.

As mentioned, ChatGPT will just fill in. Want me to write 1,000 words? Fine, but let me chose the topic. I’ll keep it technical.

I'll write a 1000 word essay about something technical I've worked passionately on. What is that, ~100 lines of text? Trivial.

About loving your company? I'm pursuing employment, not trying to join a cult here.
