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.
1. NJ Institute of Technology (at the time, Newark College of Engineering)
2. Mechanical Engineering
3. After 7 years as a design engineer and 10 years as a test and product
support engineer, joined a company that was "trying something new."
After several unsatisfactory experiences with writers with non-technical
backgrounds, they decided to try developing writing support using
people with engineering backgrounds. After about 9 months as their
writer, I became their first tech pubs manager and have been working
in that role ever since.
4. IMO, fairly bright if you're looking in a HW or systems (HW + SW)
field, less so if you're in SW only or anything that even remotely hints
of "dot.com," or if you don't have a technical background (note: this
is aimed at newbies only; if you're already in the field, a solid track
record and good references trumps "background" every time in my
book).
