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.
When I was an independent consultant, I had a six-month contract with a
international fraud investigator certification organization whereby I had to
read all types of white-collar crime/fraud cases and summarize them to one
page each...fascinating reading (moral of each story: you'll eventually get
caught, no matter how "novel" the scheme). Recently, I took on a freelance
project whereby I was the book designer for a book written by the executive
director of that fraud organization (book title: "Frankensteins of Fraud:
The 10 Worst Fraud Cases of the Century").
Several years ago, I was brought in by a company to help them document
procedures for operating equipment that manufactured disposable diapers.
They had 2 assembly lines and each line was capable of creating 120 LARGE
cases of disposable diapers per hour. The company was located about 2 hours
from my home, so they let me work from home using one of the pioneering
remote access software applications. All I had to do was show up at the
plant once a month for 2 or 3 days for meetings, observe workers at their
stations at the machines, conduct some training, etc. They put me up in a
nice hotel, paid for all expenses...I was truly...ok...forgive
me...."pampered."
