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.
Since I am in an area where all major employers
are laying off... including our university...
non-tenured profs. are gone and tech. support
went first...
What alternatives could I explore as a tech.
writer and trainer rather than full-time
with benefits working for "the other guy?"
Competition is just too stiff for the few
jobs available. When 400 applicants are
screened for three positions obviously
commando techniques are in order.
I am not mobile... as in husband is
employed. I have much to share and want
to work.
