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.

When you signed up for the TECHWR-L email list, you agreed to the posting
rules, which include not posting ads of any kind, including
job ads.
The correct place to post a job ad is at http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/employment/ and it is _free_. Your job
ad will then be sent to over 2,000 members of that mailing list. (If
you're not already a member of that list and would like to be, you can
sign up at the employement page listed above.)
If you want to reach the 5,000+ members of the TECHWR-L email list with a
job listing, you can purchase a one-week, daily ad in the Premium Jobs,
Announcements, and Events email for $50.
I've suspended your posting privileges until you contact me offlist and
agree to follow the posting rules. An abridged list of posting rules
follows.
