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.
At my last employer, the five tech writers in our
department interviewed each applicant in a group
setting. One gentleman seemed very uncomfortable,
although whether it was a result of the group
interview or just his lack of conversation skills I
don't know. One of the writers asked him what he liked
about being a technical writer. He paused
uncomfortably for a moment, shrugged his shoulders,
and stared blankly at my colleague. Finally he
replied, "I don't know. What do YOU like about it?"
Needless to say, we didn't hire the loser.
