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 know I have touched on this subject before, but I want to address it in
another way. What is the career path for a technical writer? Being new in the
field, I am having a hard time understanding it.
Do you advance from years experience or number of project releases? Are you
suppose to excel in one writing tool, or have a working knowledge of different
types of tools? I realize it would depend on what I want to do.....but I am
looking for an industry standard (if there is one).
Thanks,
Emily
