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.
And this is what I want my portfolio to do--spark conversation about how the
work was done.
And that is why I don't want to leave copies of my work with interviewers.
Dissecting my material is not what I want them to do; I want to talk with them
about it. That's why, if I'm ever asked to have copies made or items left, I
request their time for the second interview, and I explain my reason. Worked
twice.
YMMV

Would you rather read a complete Stephen King book to
get to know him, or would you rather sit there with
him over a cup of coffee for an hour with the book
infront of you?
