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 agree with Geoff on this one. Taking the minutes AND producing a report
after the meeting is a fantastic opportunity not only to put your own spin
on the report but also to raise your own visibility with the meeting
participants. If there are points that aren't clear, go back to the person
and ask before you publish the notes. You'll make valuable connections. Do a
great job on the Minutes, and they'll see what a difference having a
professional tech writer around can make.
And if they ask you to get coffee, tell them you're already busy taking the
Minutes, then delegate the coffee-fetching to one of the engineers! (Worked
for me!)
