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.
My first portfolio included two technical manuals I had written on a
free-lance basis and a program that my son wrote which I had commented, as
well as lecture notes I had presented to my algebra classes, newsletters
that I had written for various groups, and a t-shirt I had designed and worn
to a Seattle Mariners game back in 1996. (It was so subtly hilarious that
one woman almost fell off the upper deck laughing!). Although I hope that
the technical manuals got me the job, I was finally hired by the only person
who understood the t-shirt joke.
Include whatever you can, and be prepared to explain why each thing you
include is relevant to your experience.
