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.
Many of us technical writers function as instructors to a large extent, though it may not be a part of the job description.
How did you manage to step sideways in your career?
Cordially,
Craig

Subject: change in careers
Well, after 14 years of being a technical writer, I am shifting gears and moving to our training department where I will work as an instructor. First, I'd like to thank all the members of techwrl for getting me through those 14 years. I couldn't have done it, as successfully, without you!
So now I'm hoping you'll help me get through this instructor portion of my career!
There may be an opportunity in the future for me to help re-develop their training manuals. They are currently using InDesign. While I'm familiar with this software, my strength lies more in FrameMaker. Is there a defacto standard for developing training docs? Do you have any suggestion for how I can better understand how to develop leader guides vs student guides? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you know of another list that's focused more on training, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks again for all you help and entertainment over the years. I wish I could buy you all a beer. But alas, my thanks will have to do for now.
All the best,
Bryan
