Edward Micklos, a recent graduate from Global Security and Intelligence Studies, currently works for Epic Systems. He reflects on learning to work quickly to produce highly important communications during crisis situations, as well as how useful it was to apply skills from writing classes in his history classes, or welding skills in chemistry. In his current job, Edward needs to write with a clear purpose and craft content that will be useful and valuable for whoever needs to use it—whether that's an internal audience or a more public audience. Making useful content means focusing the topic appropriately, being concise, and choosing just the right words and phrases to influence readers how you intend to.
