Jobs require “white paper” experience, are you prepared?
By Michael Stelzner
I was looking around the Internet today and was SURPRISED how many employeers are looking for people with experience writing white papers.
These were jobs ranging from engineers to chief technical officers for companies as big as Microsoft and for many I have never heard of.
Here is a sampling of some of what I found:
- “Opportunities to get involved with writing white papers…”
- “Experience with White Papers”
- “Development of white papers…”
- “Writing white papers and FAQs is a must…”
- “Business development activities such as writing white papers…”
A Monster.com job search on the term “white papers” produced more than 800 jobs that are looking for folks with white paper writing experience.
This begs a question. Do people really know how to write white papers? Clearly there is a demand for the skill. Do you have a job in the corporate world that requires you to produce white papers? What is your job title and how did you learn to write white papers?
