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.
Subject:RE: Tell *everyone* when you're looking for work From:Matthew Horn <mhorn -at- macromedia -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 29 Jan 2003 14:44:08 -0500
As a corollary, "Tell *everyone* when you're looking for help".
I'll back this up with an anecdote of my own.
I play European-style boardgames and am active on a list with about 150 or so other Eurogamers who live in the Northeast. I posted an [OT] email to the list mentioning a job opening at Macromedia, knowing a few of the members are out of work engineers. Not more than a half an hour later, I had nearly 10 good resumes in my inbox.
Please: This is not a solicitation for resumes! The job is not for a technical writer.
