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.
Everyone: Peter Gold wrote to question whether job openings should be
posted to this list--they do take up a lot of "space." I would like to
express the personal opinion that we continue to allow these postings for
two reasons: 1) this is a growing and changing field and reading these
postings gives a glance at the directions of change and 2) the postings may
help somebody and none of us knows, in these days of downsizing and
fast-paced change, when we will need one of these.
However, Peter is right, the postings could be made in a more concise
manner by some. Maybe our illustrious "list compiler" could put some
format direction or limitation onto these postings in the interest of size.
(Sorry Eric to throw extra work your way, but who else...?)
Bottom line: I vote to keep the job opening listings. Marilyn
