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.
One of the more annoying job boards I subscribe to is
www.geowebservices.com
Every day they e-mail me a list of jobs that are either nothing like what
I said I wanted, or 100 miles away from where I said I wanted to work.
Then, further down the list, they show about a dozen jobs that sound much
more like something I'd be interested in. BUT - I need to pay a fee to see
these "Reserved VIP Job Leads." I can activate a "VIP account" for the low
low price of fifty bucks for sixty days.
So far I haven't gone for it, because I don't like how it smells. Has
anybody on the list ever gotten a gig from these guys? If so, I may change
my opinion. But it looks like a racket to me.
