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 am back on the market after being laid off last week.
For the past few years, I've been burning several projects to a CD and
that's been received quite well. I'm working now with a group who
specializes in tech writer placement and who is urging me to build a paper
portfolio.
I would greatly appreciate feedback from the list regarding the best size
for a portfolio and how large samples should be. I have selected the
documents/help projects I want to use, as they reflect the range of my
writing experience. But how long should the samples be? How much paper does
a hiring manager feel is enough to get a feel for the skills of the writer
without providing more than is desired?
