Electrolux
Position: Technical Writer
Location: Springfield, TN.
Time Frame: August 2012 to May 2016
I was a member of the Literature Team, responsible for creating a variety of product documentation in support of the assembly lines at the Springfield, Tennessee plan. In addition, I was responsible for documentation associated with products being moved from the company’s Canadian plant to its new assembly lines in Memphis, Tennessee.
I created and maintained the Electrolux Style Guide, presented as part of the company’s corporate Intranet site. This site provided the company with information and resources essential for achieving a consistent writing style, ensuring: 1) literature conforms to template styles; 2) new writers and employees are aware of existing styles and grammatical decisions; 3) improved consistency within/among documents, especially when multiple writers are involved; 4) no need to reinvent the wheel for every document and project; and 5) a reminder of style decisions for all technical writers.
