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.
Let me preface by saying I have checked the archives on this topic, and the
most relevant postings were from '94.
I'm going to a career fair in Boston on Tues. to try and make some headway
as the seeker of an entry-level TW position in this market. There are
several interesting tech companies, but I'm not sure if they are seeking
writers.
My question is this: Does anyone know if there is a particular way to
approach companies at a job fair? Do you treat it like a mini-interview and
wait for questions, or do you have a quick summary of yourself that you
deliver with your resume? Should I even ask if they're looking for writers?
This is my first fair (probably of many) and I don't want to violate any
rules I am not aware of.
