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.
They're trying to tell you that they think the market for
technical writers sucks, and just like all those "actors"
who are "temporary" waiters, you should jump at one of
these tide-you-over-until opportunities.

PS: But seriously, that's probably how badly their
engine parses the legitimate keywords in your resume.
