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's important for anybody writing job descriptions to think
hard about what is really *needed* to make a promising
candidate, and that there is more than one path to it,
There's no reason why a tech writer job description
can't list degrees in English, journalism, science or
engineering. The key is to remember the "or" part.
