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.
N.B. I was hired for my current position, in part, because of one of my
hobbies: ham radio. The fact that I taught the licensing course for two
years demonstrated my knowledge of basic electronic principles, which is
what set me apart from other technical writers with software-only
experience.
