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.
It would be interesting to find an employer who DID look at BROAD experience
instead on only a Degree, or an ABSOLUTELY tool-based organization.
The 'grey-hairs' have a lot to pass on based on our experience and
capabilities.
The 'agile mind' and the 'technical writing' capability would normally count
for something, regardless of the 'age' of the 'carrier'.
I have had a lot of favorable comments on my resume - capabilities -
experience - industries,
but we are looking for a detailed specialist and we don't think you would
fit in. (i.e., round peg in square hole).
It is amazing to see what prospective employers 'are not buying'.
I would be glad to get employment where I could NOT do everything that I
have done in the past.
Oh, well.....
Back to again reinventing the resume, on a resume submission by resume
submission basis.
