An Overview of MadCap Flare
Interviews for Top Jobs at Madcap Software
Software Engineer Interview
ApplicationI applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I had a very straightforward interview with Madcap Software in March 2012. I had three interviews with about ten people. Interviewed with CFO, CEO, and others on the team. Seemed like OK people, but a bit humorless and dry. Location was VERY difficult to get to due to traffic.

Interview
through but brief process- interviewed over the phone with HR to start and then with the VP of marketing and sales and the marketing director for final stages. It was a pretty strait forward interview and process.

I work as a technical writer and API documentation expert in the Seattle region. I discuss technical writing and communication-related topics in this blog, including software documentation, API documentation, visual communication, information architecture, writing techniques, plain language, tech comm careers, and others. For some in-depth explorations of these subjects, refer to the API documentation and simplifying complexity.

My career as a technical writer came to an end over the course of the following few weeks. Each and every one of the initiatives we identified was either impractical for our authoring system or required a significant investment. Despite my frustration with this response, I persisted because I didn’t want obstacles to prevent us from getting better.
I became aware that I had made a serious error halfway through the first test. Only about 30% of them were able to locate the appropriate instructions for a given procedure when given the task to do so in the guide. After that, a scenario requiring the application of those instructions was presented to the participants. Here are some of the things I noticed while they were seated at their terminals:
Unfortunately, this state of job bliss was short lived. It all ended abruptly one afternoon just a year after I started my new job. I was informed of the loss of my position when I was called into my director’s office. I felt crushed. I had just found my stride. I was working like I’d always wanted to work. I had completely revitalized my career, and I was having more fun and producing better results than I ever had. I was afraid of that ending and of facing an uncertain future.
I spent a few weeks trying to solve these problems but never got anywhere, so I gave up. I went back to focusing only on content development. But this experience had left me scarred. Much of the satisfaction I had found in my work vanished when I realized that my content was being delivered in formats that were almost impossible to use. Ignoring all our valuable user feedback gnawed at me. After six years, the appeal of technical writing gradually faded, and I wanted to stop. I started looking for something new.
Nearly five years have passed, and my Flare training and consulting company has been assisting technical writers at businesses throughout the world in undergoing the same kind of career transformation that I did. I want to teach my clients more than just Flare when I work with them. I desire for them to look forward to getting up each morning and going to work. I want them to feel confident in what they can accomplish. I want to assist them in performing their best work to date.
