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.
I've never gone to any interview without wearing a tie. And I usually wear
a suit. It's not a crime to be overdressed.
And when I interviewed others for senior positions at a company in Grass
Valley, CA, I was quite shocked when candidates showed up without so much
as a sport coat and tie.
Although you're desirous of a technical writing position, you never know
when a company might want to send you out as an ambassador. In so doing,
the powers that be might want you to wear a suit. Why not demonstrate from
the get-go that you're able to represent the company in this manner?
