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.
Always ask for the job description in writing, then you don't have to worry
about whether or not to ask for it based on whether or not you can
understand
someone (when I was contracting, I always stapled a copy of the original
job description to the contract, just in case there were issues later on).
As for
the cell number, if you publish it, it will be used. If you only want
clients to use
your cell, don't publish it and just provide it to clients after they have
contacted
you through other means. Have you considered having a "clients only"
section
of your website with access control? I don't even have a "real" website,
and
I put one on my index page.
