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.
The Information Technologies department of Tucson Unified School District
will soon have a tech writer vacancy.
The position involves a fair amount of web design/development (we're willing
to train) as well as writing documentation for in-house software.
I'll state upfront that pay is under-competitive (two factors at work here:
1. we're a school district, not private sector 2. salaries in Tucson tend to
be lower than average for the Southwest). However, the benefits in terms of
an enriching and positive work environment, opportunities to learn exciting
new web technologies, and generous paid holidays help to offset the
under-competitive pay. Plus, you'd get to live in beautiful Tucson!
The position will be posted starting 25 Sept. and will close 2 Oct. (Once
it's posted, you'll be able to find the posting at our website http://www.tusd.k12.az.us/tusd/jobann.htm )
If you're interested in this position, please get in touch with me through
email. I'll be happy to answer your questions and send you more information
about the position.
