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.
I recently had an interview where I mentioned that I appreciated being edited (which I do). The job was in a field in which I had a little experience, but much to learn. I was excited about the prospect and I thought I would sound humble by admitting I expected to encounter a learning curve. The feedback I received was--she relies too much on editors.
Guess it wasn't meant to be.
