Last night, I had a great, but depressing conversation about the future of tech writing.

Met up with a new friend who’s been doing the tech writing thing like a decade, and who’s been job searching for six months.

His one line summary, “it’s a race to the bottom”.

About a year ago, he left a good, high-paying tech writing job to travel. He was done with corporate America and ready for something different. But six months later, travel fatigued, he decided early retirement wasn’t for him. And he’s found nothing.

E-Portfolios are fast becoming an indispensable component in career planning for professionals. More than just a 'resume' tool for students, e-portfolios are being used for career documentation and are valuable in situations such as job evaluations and advancement. This course will introduce you to the basics of creating your own (ongoing) e-portfolio. You will use projects created both inside and outside the Technical Communication program to create a picture of yourself as a Technical Communication professional. You will also learn how to market yourself using your e-portfolio and other self-marketing tools. This course is excellent for those searching for a job, shifting careers, or looking to advance within their current situation. ( www.pr.viu.ca/techcomm/courses/pdjt001.asp)
