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.
I found my current job through monster.com. Found out later this company's
HR dept. ONLY advertises its jobs through its own Web site and monster.com,
no exceptions.
One thing I think I did wrong when job-hunting on Web sites was searching
only on these words: write, document and edit.
With all the job titles people like us have these days, I should've been
hunting for titles containing words like information, architect, designer,
developer, knowledge, content, web, internet, technical, analyst, metadata,
etc.
I hunted for 6 months last year before striking gold, the longest it ever
took me. The TW job market in Tucson is bad, starting about Jan. 2001 and
continuing.
