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 was part of a team that was interviewing those who had been called back for a
second interview. One candidate had briefly explained why he was looking for a
job in his first interview, so we knew he was unhappy at his current employer,
but he spent a huge chunk of his second interview complaining about that
employer. Advice: you may be working for Satan himself, but you can gain nothing
by complaining about your boss. Your potential employer is going to think you're
just one of those people who's never satisfied. Save the horror stories for
lunch with your new coworkers.

(and if you *are* working for Satan tell him I said hi... we don't see him very
often since he left here)
