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.
It's ironic that amid discussions about how to show
our value to management, we bash professional
organizations.
At the very least, I think our membership in STC shows
a certain level of commitment to our careers that many
of my coworkers don?t share. For example, I don't see
professional publications or journals on the desks of
the product managers or QA analysts I work with.
There?s a pride of sorts that I feel when I tell my
colleagues that I?m going to a professional conference
or industry workshop.
Granted, membership in and of itself isn?t going to
make or break a career, but it?s one of the many tools
available to us. First-class results (and dare I say,
?deliverables??) will always be the most important.
