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.
Based on the way most recruiters (internal and external) screen resumes
these days, whether your resume says "webmaster" or "web designer" will
be less important for the position listing you describe than whether it says
"HTML," "Javascript" and "SQL." Your titles will only be important if
they match those in the listing. Getting past HR to the hiring manager
these days is all about having the right keywords.
