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.
One place I know of asks only for 'organizational' references, not
personal references, that is, all of your past supervisors.
That can be hard to supply--a couple of my past bosses are not
in the same company or career any more, and a couple of others
are overseas!

One association I worked with moved, changed its phone number, *and* changed
its *name*! Lucky I found out (by accident & much later) & wonder if any
potential employers figured I'd made up the whole thing when they couldn't
get through or find a listing for it anywhere! Learned my lesson to confirm
those things before each job hunt.
