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.
<<When I mentioned that I've written company policies in the past, she went
on to ask is there anything creative that I've done, even if it's outside of
the workplace. I'm open to creating a document, so I can showcase my writing
skills, but I'm short on time (they want it as soon as possible) and I'm not
sure I fully understand their definition of a creative writing sample.>>
During the interview process, did you find out what it was they were trying
to address or "cure?" Although the training is supposed to be web-based, is
it technical training? If not, you may need to dig into your bag for some
sort of interactive game that requires the student to respond quickly. Your
contact may need assurances that your learner will stay engaged in the
learning process although the content may seem "techie." It's hard to say,
without knowing what it is they are trying to address.
The good news is that she took the time to call you and ask. The bad news is
that this "feels" like an organization that is not sure what they are
looking for.
