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.
Thank you to everyone who has written to me with words
of encouragement about being laid off. I am starting
to feel better. I have a couple of leads, and I am
also looking into going back into nursing and doing
part time home care. My rationale is that it's a
different industry, so may not be subject to the same
downturns, and I have been missing taking care of
people. One of my leads is a part time editing gig and
if that works out I could do both types of work during
the week. If I get a full time tech writing job, I
could do home care on weekends. Yes, I like to work.
As you all have advised, I put together a kick-butt
resume and writing samples that have been reviewed by
my tech writing mentor-teacher. I am trying to relax.
You folks are the best.
Martha
