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'm new to the field and to the board. I'm learning so much from your
posts, not to mention getting a good laugh at least once a day.
I have a 20 yr. old undergrad in Org. Development and a certificate from
Northwestern. (My class was the first for the program, and apparently, the
last..it's being discontinued.) My writing credits to date are creative
(poetry, radio work, short story) and talent agency stuff, but tech is what
I want to do.
If you all had one piece of advice on how to prepare for interviewing and
looking for work what would that be? I have some knowledge of Frame,
Dreamweaver, Acrobat 5.0, Visual Basic, Visio, and Office 2000, but am
concerned that I'll be laughed out of space, cyber and physical, because I
can't compete with folks who can do it all.
