Typewriter or a sticky keyboard to type a 2000 word essay with no typos? FYI If you make a typo on the typewriter you have to completely start over

What is this about? Why is someone asking you to write an essay with no typos in a typewriter? Are you asking for advice on which one to get? It's probably not very affordable to find a typewriter these days since I doubt they mass produce them anymore so I guess go with the sticky keyboard.

Lol as someone who's been dealing with a sticky keyboard for the past few months, give me the typewriter every time. I really need to get a new laptop, I feel like I have to delete a duplicated letter from every other word and it's driving me bonkers.

I was wondering where my college typing teacher went to. He could type 200 perfect words a minute, had forceps the size of tree trunks, and -- yes -- flunked me because I always watched my hands while I typed. I don't do that anymore, but still type 50 words a minute with several typos that I have to spend 5-10 minutes proofreading to correct. Do they even make typewriters now. I have a 1927 Underwood that I used in college, but I haven't typed anything on it in forever. I'm not sure where I'd find the old black-and-red ribbon if I needed one.

I have not used a actual typewriter since 1985.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?
