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.
Interviewer: "Tell me about your last three employers."
Employee: "Well, after my stint writing instructions on
"Using credit cards to gamble" for MegaBucks
Casino, I moved to SW Pirates Inc., where I
documented their CD copying and cracking
tools. They had a RIF after the start of the
DOJ investigation, so I started looking for
work again. That's when I landed my last job,
working for Wendy's House of S&M, writing
instructions and warnings for their "hard
core" line. Is something wrong?

I'm not morally opposed to porn (though there is quite a lot of it that I
don't find attractive at all), but I would not work for a pornography
because I would not want that name on my resume to be seen by future
prospects who might have a problem with it.

I get the general impression that porn is more objectionable than working on
weapons (things that kill) or privacy-encroaching technology.
