Name:<\/strong> Katja Yl\u00e4lehto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: <\/strong>Documentation Manager <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education: <\/strong>Master of Arts, majoring in English Philology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you been working at Kopar:<\/strong><\/strong>
about 2 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you spend your free time:<\/strong> <\/strong>My number one hobby is knitting, and I always have knitting needles in my hand when watching TV in the evening. In addition, I spend a lot of time at the cottage with my family and do everything related to it: berry picking, mushroom picking and fishing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Katja Yl\u00e4lehto<\/strong> has worked with documentation throughout her twenty-year career. She has worked as a technical writer, information designer, and documentation coordinator.

In the advanced phase of her studies, she completed a specialisation programme in technical communication and got her first job through an internship as part of her studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Early in her career, Yl\u00e4lehto worked for a long time in various subcontracting companies, through which she produced documentation for large organisations such as ABB, Nokia, Microsoft, and Rolls-Royce. Before her current role, Yl\u00e4lehto held a documentation position at Kalmar for five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- During my career, I have mainly focused on design tasks and documentation coordination. My tasks do not include writing so much but editing and reviewing the finished content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A new career started with a LinkedIn message<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About two years ago, Yl\u00e4lehto received a message on LinkedIn from Kopar's former project manager. At the time, Kopar had a documentary position open, and Yl\u00e4lehto had emerged from the network as a suitable candidate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

- Everyone says no one will pick you up for work, but that kind of happened here. Kopar's project manager contacted me on LinkedIn, and the message came at the right time. Kalmar was reorganising various functions, and I was ready to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yl\u00e4lehto first exchanged ideas through messages and phone calls with the people of Kopar. She also attended an interview, after which she was ready to accept the position. At first, Yl\u00e4lehto responded to everything independently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Over the past couple of years, the team has grown with two new members, whose supervisor Yl\u00e4lehto is currently. At the same time, Yl\u00e4lehto's duties have changed somewhat and are now focusing more on the organisation of tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\"Product information distribution plays a key role in all customer projects, but it can be done in many different ways. I also like working in the customer interface, because I get to be in constant contact with customers and the rest of the team.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Versatility is the richness of work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The documentation team is responsible for mapping customers' project needs, including what product information needs to be delivered to the client and how.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

To ensure that everyone is aware of the project flow, communication, information management, and project scheduling are also crucial components of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasks, techniques, and tools will change based on the client project. One of the things that motivates Yl\u00e4lehto in her job is the variety.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"It's nice to document the exact products we make and deliver to customers. It's also easier to approach others when you know the manufacturer of the products and who to turn to for help.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

The importance of community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Kopar, Yl\u00e4lehto particularly likes that they work closely together. The designers draw up the drawings and record the technical data and functional descriptions, while the documentation team is responsible for maintaining operating and maintenance manuals, and for passing on all information to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

- It's nice to document the exact products we make and deliver to customers. It's also easier to approach others when you know the manufacturer of the products and who to turn to for help. The biggest difference from my previous jobs is how much I use the phone for communication. It's much more flexible and faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Yl\u00e4lehto mentions that Kopar is best suited for self-starters. In a small work community, tasks and responsibilities may vary according to need. Kopar employees come from very different backgrounds, and instead of education, the most important thing is self-motivation: the drive to learn new things and take care of many kinds of tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
