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.
Unfortunately, a lot of this is geography. There are huge opportunities
for experienced medical device tech writers in the DC Metro area. I
think the same is true for certain parts of the Midwest (I knew a guy
who moved to Minnesota for just that reason).
As for your tendency to ask probing questions: Bill Swallow's right
about that one. It's a tremendous asset in this industry, and you
wouldn't want to work for a company that didn't recognize that. When it
comes to regulatory compliance and market approval, employees who ask
probing questions are worth their weight in gold.
