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.
Wonderful question, Rebecca. You will likely get a variety of answers from
this group on this issue I would guess. Bottom line, it's up to you.
However, if your contract specifically states that you cannot work with or
for anyone else during your stint with your "primary" client, then you
can't.
Clearly, many folks work two, three, or four jobs to make ends meet around
the world. Employers don't have absolute say over your off-site activities
- and most of the time, none whatsoever. Freedom in a democracy or even a
republic is amazing!
You never know what you can achieve until you push yourself and try new
combinations of things... Go for it!
