As a network engineer, your ability to communicate effectively in writing is as crucial as your technical expertise. Whether you're documenting network configurations, drafting emails, or creating reports, clear and concise written communication can significantly impact your professional success. Enhancing these skills not only makes you more effective in your role but also positions you as a valuable team member and a professional in the field.

1 Grasp Basics

To improve your written communication, start by solidifying your grasp of the basics. This means ensuring you have a strong command of grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Utilize tools like spell checkers and grammar apps, but don't rely on them entirely. Read technical documents and well-written articles to see how complex ideas are structured and communicated. Practice by writing regularly, even if it's just personal notes or journal entries, to develop a natural flow in your writing.

- Según mi experiencia para mejorar la escritura debemos tenes una. Lectura activa: Además de leer documentos técnicos y artículos bien escritos, practica la lectura activa. Esto implica analizar críticamente lo que lees, identificando las técnicas que hacen que un texto sea efectivo o persuasivo. Presta atención a cómo los autores estructuran sus argumentos, usan transiciones entre ideas y varían la longitud de las oraciones para mantener el interés del lector.

2 Be Clear

Clarity is paramount in technical communication. As a network engineer, you must convey complex technical concepts in a way that's understandable to various audiences, including those without a technical background. Avoid jargon unless it's industry-standard and necessary. When using acronyms like TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), always provide the full term initially with the acronym in parentheses, and then you can use the acronym alone thereafter. Keep sentences short and to the point, and use bullet points or numbered lists to break down complex information when possible.

We understand what packet loss is, we understand the potential causes. However, does the customer? Does everyone in the SLT? We need to be clear on what we're sharing, and the better you become at communicating in a conversational not factual manner, you'll be seen in great light! We say: packet loss I say: network degredation

3 Stay Concise

Conciseness is key in written communication. Your goal is to convey your message with as few words as necessary without sacrificing clarity. Avoid filler words and get straight to the point. When discussing network configurations or protocols, use precise language. For example, when instructing on setting up a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), be direct about the steps and commands needed, and avoid unnecessary elaboration.

- Claridad y concisión: En mi experiencia, la claridad es clave en la comunicación escrita. Esfuérzate por expresar tus ideas de la manera más clara y concisa posible. Evita la jerga innecesaria y las oraciones excesivamente largas o complicadas. A menudo, menos es más cuando se trata de una escritura efectiva.

4 Technical Precision

Accuracy is non-negotiable in network engineering documentation. When writing configuration guides or troubleshooting manuals, ensure that all technical details are correct. This includes command syntax, interface names, and IP (Internet Protocol) addressing schemes. When necessary, use the

tag to format command lines or code snippets, ensuring they are easy to read and error-free. Double-check your work for technical precision to maintain credibility and trustworthiness.
###### Review Often
Another vital step is to review and revise your written work. After drafting a document, take a break and revisit it with fresh eyes to spot errors or areas that need clarification. Peer reviews can be incredibly beneficial; having a colleague read through your work can provide new perspectives and catch mistakes you might have missed. This iterative process of review and revision will sharpen your communication over time.
###### Adapt Tone
Finally, consider the tone of your writing. Different situations require different tones; for instance, an email to a client may need a more formal tone than an internal chat message. Be respectful and professional, especially when writing emails or reports that may be shared with clients or higher management. Use positive language and focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Your tone can influence how your message is received and can reflect your professionalism.
######Here’s what else to consider
This is a space to share examples, stories, or insights that don’t fit into any of the previous sections. What else would you like to add?

To be precise in network engineering you need to have built yourself a roadmap for the next steps you'll take. If it's a project: document first, hands on when you have all the pieces you need If it's an outage: review documentation and update it once the outage is resolved If it's an incident/ticket/issue: doodle as you go Always look for IPs, device models/versions, diagrams and build out the data set to find the commonalities.

Usa herramientas de organización: Antes de empezar a escribir, utiliza esquemas o mapas mentales para organizar tus pensamientos. Esto puede ayudarte a estructurar tu escritura de manera más coherente y lógica. Me sirven de mucho. Espero que te sea útil
