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.
A real interview "stumper" is oten "Tell me about
yourself?" Typically, interviewees take one of two
approaches in answering this one:
* The pet dog approach: "I am faithfull, honest,
people oriented, detail oriented, etc, etc."
* The laundry list approach: "I have a BA in
Journalism, I have five plus years of experience, I
know Framemaker, etc., etc."
It's all about marketing - and marketing, in its most
powerful form, is all about unique positioning. My
answer to the question: "What distinguishes me as a TW
is my unique experiences utilizing leading-edge
structured writing techniques to properly organize
documentation for user friendlyness".

> years?" question.
