Jorge C. Do I have to write in my career?

Writing, not that many people like the idea of writing; some people choose their majors by influencing in how much writing that career has to do. Being honest every profession you think about has some writing to do, it doesn’t matter what you do. Writing could be something as complex as a manual to a new software that your company develop or as simple as an email to your boss asking for the day off. There are many things you don’t consider writing such as prescription by a doctor, a ticket by a cop, or a rejection letter by a college, because is not long or complicated, it has been done a tremendous amount time and now is like second nature. After, this being said just keep in mind that you always going to have some writing to do.

One of the most important things we have to remember when writing is rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of using words to persuade people, or how words work and affect audiences. Rhetoric is how you engaged your audiences into your writing. In order to do that you need to analyze the situation: purpose, audience, stakeholders, and context. Then you use this information to adjust to the situation, instead of just thinking of the document itself. Other important things to keep in mind that importance of establishing your credibility or expertise in the topic, trust, and goodwill. Technical writing in your major has to focus on the expectations, goals, situations, and needs of the readers in order to be effective.
For an example of the use of the rhetoric you could watch the youtube video is really short and it provides two example of how you could persuade people. Also, for a better explanation on rhetoric you could go to the other link.
