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.
We have two open Tech Writer positions...one for an experienced writer and
one entry-level or relatively "green" individual. Both are permanent,
full-time positions.
The jobs are not yet posted on our website but feel free to look around. The
jobs should be posted by Monday AM. In the mean time, if you're particularly
anxious, you may e-mail cover letters & resumes to jobs -at- GibbsCAM -dot- com,
(ASCII, PDF or Word only, please).
Thanks very much,
Wil Gaffga
