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.
Well, that was the only half I was talking about. I already know
my own value, and it's not based on what any one employer or
client thinks of my profession. :)
> This is only half the picture. It is the half that we cannot directly

> directly. The focus should not be on "the employer". The focus should
> be on me, it should be on you, and anyone interested in "demonstrating
> value". I've spent a huge chunk of my professional life demonstrating
> value. I did so external to "the employer". That's the only way you

> a 3rd party ("the employer"), then you're doomed to fail.
