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.
Just a bit of humor here (I hope). I found this posting on a job site
for a "Technical Writer". Boy, the requirements for a technical
writer now sure are different from the ones that I'm used to! Would
adding office supply procurement to our skills make us more
marketable?
