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.
Well . . . a strong portfolio would show me your
training, education, and experience put to use, let me
know what you are capable of, and permit me to
extrapolate. Then, I could consider your sales
pitch/psychobabble at the interview in terms of your
past work . . ..
So, impress me with what you have done and wine and
dine me with promises of the future . . . but without
the portfolio, it is nothing more than promises and a
leap of faith . . ..
Cheers,
Sean
