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.
In today's economic climate, companies will find any excuse to cull out applicants, even if it is just because they don't recognize the company name.
However, the applicants have no control over this situation. All they can do it submit their resume, be as accurate as possible, learn from failure, and continue the job search.
