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.
Like others, I see pros and cons for both depending on the situation - sometimes it polished and shiny and others itâs down and dirty and often somewhere in between! :-)
Like Sharon, I see certification (or any certificate I might have) as simply something that makes me stand out at the initial phase - to get that interview. Once I get that they donât mean a lot if I don't 'sell' myself well.
