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.
>>You know (he said in a self-promoting sort of way <g>) if, for whatever
reason, you are going to send out resumes blind, you might be better off
using the T-Letter.<<
That's a great idea for an advertised position or for those instances where
you've cold-called someone and they've described to you what their needs
are, but it doesn't seem appropriate when you don't really know anything
about a company other than what you can find out from their website.
I have been using a similar 3-column skills/experience/tools matrix to show,
for a given skills requirement (interviewing, presentation, document
authoring, programming, web design, etc.) what my experience is, and what
tools I've used. I have gotten great feedback from employers and recruiters
on this (although one told me to "get it all on one page").
