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.
Or even if the job posting is legit, the very fact that it's out there
where millions of people will see it means that millions of people will
apply, which makes the odds pretty lousy. Better to try and ferret out
jobs that not many people know about, through networking or whatever
other means you have at your disposal.

Which makes another good point: don't depend on job postings to tell you
about jobs that are available. I used my network to do searching; I
found out about the job I'm in from a recruiter.

one more to add:
the position is not open. they just like to fish for candidate resumes
in case the person currently in the position leaves or screws up.
(yes, i do know of a company that does this.)
