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 think someone missed the point. They were not hiring a TW or even and ID. They were hiring a standup trainer. If you don't want to be a standup trainer or don't have the skills to be one, don't interview for the job.
The TW and ID skills were irrelevant. The interviewing process show this to be the case. That same company will be hiring a TW and possibly an ID shortly. And, when they do, they will not ask these candidates to present.
They think that their standup trainer can do all three jobs. I've never worked anywhere where that was the case. But, it will take them a few weeks to figure that out.
