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.
Something similar happened to me: I found two recruiters trying to fill
the same position at a company! Recruiters seem to be picking resumes
off of Monster, etc. and then matching them to requests from companies.
This is why I'm very leery of recruiters right now.
