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 am considering enrolling in the Technical Writing and Editing certificate
program at University of Washington in Seattle. I would like to know: 1) has
anyone on this list completed this program?; 2) was it beneficial in getting
a job?; 3) what is the employment situation in the Seattle area for
technical writers?
I have a Bachelor's degree with a major in Communication Disorders (speech
pathology/audiology), and minors in Psychology and Education.
Please reply privately to me at kmehlenb -at- nmu -dot- edu -dot- Thanks for any insights
you might provide.
Kathy (new email address coming soon!)
