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.
This reminds me of an interview where the interviewer, an HR person who
didn't know anything more than what was written in the job description by
the actual manager of the department, asked me to explain what I do. After a
lengthy explanation, the woman, smiled, sighed, looked marvelled at me, and
said, "Boy, I have no idea what you just told me, but it sure does sound
impressive." She proceeded to take me to the actual manager who, when I
repeated the story to her, laughed and said, "Well, at least you sounded
impressive." I got the job, I never had to deal with that HR person again.
It's sort of like a few years ago when I used to get telephone calls from
recruiters asking me if I knew what (imagine someone spelling this out over
a telephone) "D-O-S" was? I said, yes, one more than U-N-O and hung up on
them.
