Fish out of order

My client wanted to update a set of occupational profiles tailored for Western Australia, detailing  education and training requirements for each occupation, along with additional supporting information.

​

To ensure clarity, consistency, and efficiency, I liaised with the subject matter experts (SMEs) to standardise their data submissions. One of the results of this effort was the creation of the Occupational Profile Submission Guide.​ The guide provides structured templates and detailed field instructions for reporting salary expectations, job prospects, education pathways, licensing requirements, and industry resources.

​

Key elements

​

• Templates and structured fields to ensure that complex information is easy to input and retrieve.

• Writing guidelines that emphasise simple, accessible language.

• Style guidelines that enforce consistent terminology, formatting, and grammar rules, ensuring all submissions adhere to a professional standard.

• Instructions that are broken down into easy-to-follow steps, reducing ambiguity.

​

By creating this document, I streamlined the submission process, reducing ambiguity and minimising the need for revisions. The guide also includes a writing style guide, enforcing plain language principles, proper formatting, and local relevance for Western Australia.
