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.
Indeed. There is LOTS to be learned from reading prior posts. There anyone
can learn about different employment opportunities (and the limitations
therein), about dealing with SMEs, and all sorts of other pre-career
information. Having each student conduct interviews seems to be a bit of
reinventing the wheel, given the lengthy discussions we've had here about
any number of topics.
