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.
I've updated the TECHWR-L Poll with a new question:
When looking for a new job, your most successful
approach has been:
* Working with a specific agency/headhunter/advisor
* Using recruiter/agency sites
* Using general job sites like Monster or Dice
* Using STC job listings
* Using newspaper classified ads
* Cold-calling companies that interest you
* Sending large numbers of unsolicited resumes
* Networking with colleagues about opportunities
* Indirectly or passively monitoring the job market
* Other/none of the above
If you haven't yet participated in the previous
polls, you can still do so. Use the Results link
in the poll box, and then choose the Vote option
available with the previous poll questions.
