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.
Without taking into consideration experience and other requirements,
when a job posting asks that applicants have "a degree in Journalism,
English, Technical Communications or RELATED area," does a degree in
French or another language qualify as a related field????? It may
depend on the particular position ... or does it?
I notice various editorial and writing jobs use these terms, and I've
always wondered if my undergraduate degree in French fits the bill. I
did focus on language, translation, stylistics as opposed to literature.
Many thanks!
