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 guess I'm not sure which, because I really don't feel like either. I
graduated with an Associate of Applied Science in Electromechanical
Technology (the school subtitled it Robotics). I immediately littered the
countryside with my skimpy resume, responding to any ad I felt remotely
qualified for. I responded to a blind ad for an entry level tech writer
and was fortunate that Dave Nottke of Chicago Laser Systems decided to
take a chance on me and turned me into a technical writer. We've since
parted company, but I'll always be grateful to Dave for taking that
chance on me and for tutoring me through my early years. That was ten
years ago, and I feel that I've really found my niche. Thanks, Dave, if
you're "listening."
