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.
We're getting ready to send out a flurry of resumes
to contract agencies--the Compaq buyout of Digital
and resulting chaos has left us with a few spare hours
each week and the usual suspects haven't netted out
to anything real.
In brief, we're looking for some new (less than full
time), telecommutable projects. Ideally, we'd hook
up with someone who has ongoing need for some
tech writing/marcomm writing services, but we're
pretty open at this point.
Unless someone snaps us up quickly, we'll be sending
resumes to all the agencies we can find. Because
we're not the first and likely not the last to want to
do this, I'll volunteer to pour all of the agency contacts
I get into an Access database and make it available
to anyone who wants it (through the TECHWR-L
site).
What's the catch? I need agency recommendations.
Please email contact info (as complete as possible)
for any appropriate agencies you've worked with
(offline, of course), and I'll go from there.
PS: Yes, we're now syndicated--whoo whoo! We sent
brief announcements to several list members with whom
we've corresponded off-line recently, but didn't think
it was appropriate to post the press release to the list.
(And no, we didn't opt for snagging all the addresses
and sending them privately either--if others can't do
it, we can't do it.) If you're interested in info about
the column, email me offline and I'll send it along.
Eric (and Deborah, who is up to her nose in some
project and thus incommunicado at the
moment)
