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.
On the subject of the increasing use of foreign technical talent and
the impact that will have on our careers, I see it as simply another
opportunity to provide value to those who need our services.
Tech writers with a proven ability to overcome the barriers of
culture, language and complexity to get the message to the intended
audience will only be more in demand.
This Wednesday I'm interviewing for a contract with a company that has
a lot of foreign-born Ph.D.'s with language and cultural challenges,
and they *really* need help. Since much of their revenue and growth
opportunites come from research grants, they absolutely require that
their grant proposals be well-written and attractively designed. For
them, good writing is a bottom-line issue.
Rest assured, the experience I've gained working in multicultural
environments with highly-educated foreign talent will be sure to find
its way to my resume.
