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.
Yesterday, Deborah Wescott joyfully informed the group that she was on the
verge of her first TW interview, and asked:
"1. Would you people consider giving me some pointers for handling the
interview? or some specific questions to ask?..."
We publish a quarterly newsletter, "Writer's Block" (free for the asking,
and on the Web), and our Fall '95 issue contained a feature article about
this very topic.
For Deborah, and anyone else who is interested, it is on the Web at:
(BTW, there may be a few other articles of interest for technical writers,
since that is the purpose of the newsletter.)

p.s.: If you don't have access to the Web, drop me a line if you would like
to receive Writer's Block by mail (again, it's free -- I'm not trying to
sell you anything here :-) )
