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.
Think about what will make a technical writer succeed,
or not, in your company, and ask questions focused on
those criteria. Use questions that start with "tell me
about a time when..." to probe for how the candidate
deals or dealt with the situations they might have to
handle in your company.
