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 had a friend who graduated from USC with an MBA in Judicial Administration,
but no experience in any area that made him welcome in the high-tech companies
here in Silicon Valley. He became bitter because he felt he had "the
credentials" to go directly into middle management, but no company called him
back after the initial interview. I tried several times to give him tough-love
advice about tuning his skills - but he didn't want to hear it.
Sigh!
