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.
I'm about to start jobhunting in earnest. If there's any interest, I will have to make some longer phone calls, have some Skype interviews, and eventually make actual physical visits for interviews, so I will need to get out of the office for a few hours now and then.
