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.
Courtesy of Tech Republic I came across a question that one can ask when
interviewing for a position. They suggests it for IT interviews. I've
recast it for tech writing.
âIs the documentation effort seen as a revenue generator or a cost center
in this organization?â
The answer, or even the foot-dragging involved in speaking an answer, can
easily reveal more than anyone was prepared to tell you about how things
really happen.
Whether to place the question to one's >>current<< management is left as
an exercise for the reader.
