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.
After the recent downturn, I have been brainstorming on how to enhance my
marketability in an ever-changing market. My areas of focus have been geared
toward learning XML, XHTML, etc. and learning new software applications.
Being proactive has helped me secure employment.
As others on this list have lots of experience and good perspectives, I
wondered how people felt about writers pursuing courses on usability. I'm
also considering studying information architecture in some form, as some of
my best managers have been information architects in an informal way. My
intent is to keep my skills marketable.
Any ideas, opinions appreciated.
