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.
In my first Tech Writer job, I was hired to write technical manuals for
off-road equipment because I
? knew a little mechanical, hydraulic and electrical stuff,
? liked messing with mechanical, hydraulic and electrical stuff,
? had written things occasionally in my previous job as a technical
illustrator.
I was to replace a temp that was scheduled to leave as soon as she showed me
the ropes. I soon realized what a valuable resource she was to the company
(and to me), and persuaded them to hang on to her. She stayed on as a temp
for another year before I convinced them to hire her permanently.
So... I guess while I was hired as a solo writer, I WAS part of a (small)
group.
