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.
<<<<<< So when the question comes up, how much were you making at your last

is a big difference between being vague and outright lying.>>>>>
