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.
I bring in a hardcopy portfolio with screenprints of online
documentation (if/when relevent). During the interview, I explain what
they are looking at and invite them to view my online portfolio
(usually at my personal homepage). Also, when I send them a "Thanks for
the interview" email I paste the link to the location, just to remind
them.
Oddly enough, at several of my last interviews they didn't even know
what to do with my portfolio. Out of curiosity, do some TWs show up to
interviews sans portfolio? If so, why? Under what circumstances would a
TW NOT bring a portfolio? (Other than "they've already got it" or "It's
a friend.")
I'm really curious if this is just a Dallas phenomenon or I'm the
weirdo by bringing a portfolio at all. ;)
