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.
The only fuzzy part of the job description is this:
"Knowledge of .NET/Java technologies a plus Bachelors
degree in computer science" and the inclusion of HTML
in the skills list.
During the interview I openly stated my Bachelors in
Linguistics, my lack of .NET/Java experience and my
beginner status with HTML. The other
skills/requirements were fine.
It was the client's choice to offer me the contract.
I'm not saying they're trying to exploit me but the
day will come when they will regret their decision of
not hiring a TW with coding experience and database
skills.
