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.
I am one of those who IS attending the STC conference. I'm
looking forward to learning more about the writing and tools
side, since I know lots about the technical side. (Besides, I
don't think there'd be much of a draw to sessions relevant to
what I do, such as "How to reverse engineer and document legacy
Fortran spaghetti code".)
Anyway, here's my question. My official job title is aerospace
engineer, even though I mostly write these days. Is it ethical
and appropriate to put "technical writer" on my business cards,
even if that isn't my official job title?
