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.
If your friend has a solid work experience, he should organize his
resume so that his accomplishments, skills and past employers and
positions are the first and most prominent items, with his education
and training coming at the end, so that by the time prospective
employers get to it they've already been hooked. Of course, if the
reader is an HR drone or an automated computer program
mindlessly screening resumes against a list of key words there may
not be any sure-fire way of getting past the lack of a "BS/BA" in
the text.
