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.
Many of us are turning down work, in the form of firm offers, during 1997.
It is a sign of the times. Companies are allocating more money to rewrite
manuals that should have been rewritten years ago. We have talked about
the feast or famine cycle. Feast while you can!
