No. Reading and writing improve writing skills. Working in a hospital doesn't make you a doctor, working at car dealership doesn't make you a mechanic. You have to study and practice. There are basic rules to effective writing. Find out what those are, and from there, you can experiment with style.

I was under the impression that your writing skills had to be pretty good before getting a job at one. Such as taking a Technical Writing class. I would think one's vocabulary improves quite a bit.

Generally any kind of practice in writing will improve your skills in that area.

I think working your brain in general keeps you from loosing what you have learned in school. If you have time, take a tour at your local newspaper outlet. Good luck in your ventures!!

Not really, but if you can make effort to use the idioms and phases and good vocabulary inside it, your writing will improve.

It might, depending on your level of language proficiency.

yes...you get constant critique from editors and readers, and learn to pare your prose.
