TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My office newspaper has a section for introducing a certain 'group' or
'team' or whatever of the company. There's a business-aspect introduction to
the group's role in the company, co-written by the TW and the group head,
then a picture of each member accompanied by a short introduction to that
person. The introduction starts with their business background and what
they're doing for the company right now, then includes a sentence or so
about their personal interests or family - whatever information they saw fit
to tell the TW in their 'interview'. This approach is nice because it allows
you to give a little bit of a personal introduction, yet the peice is still
professional and relevant to the business side of the company.
Cheers,
Steph Jacobs
