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 am a new student in a grad TW program, and I'd just like to throw my two
cents in. Because undergrad was ten years ago and my career up to this point
had been retail centered, I find myself at a disadvantage in the tools
department. My program does require two courses in a Tools & Techniques
category and one computer language, but I have no idea which courses will
serve me better out in the job market. I think that curricula should cover
the dominant tools in the market at the time, possibly rotating as the tools
change. It would help me at job hunting time to know that I have a current
skill on my resume, rather than surface knowledge of several different tools
garnered from non-class sources. Plus, I would like to have expert
instruction rather than feeling my way around in the dark (as I am currently
doing).
