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.
1) Apply for the job if you want it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. After
all, the worse they can do is say "no," drag you into a dark alley, and vent
their frustrations on you. There's little gained by overthinking this.
2) Be prepared with a good solid answer about why you could not take the job
before.
3) Try to get extra $$$ out of the deal <vbg>.
4) Don't be devastated if they pass on you.
Cheers,
Sean
