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.
No one talks about the "informational interview" anymore but it's still
practiced. I've had several in the past year alone, and have sat on both
sides of the "desk"... As interviewer and interviewee (note that the
roles are usually reversed from a formal company interview). I
definitely recommend this practice. Aside from learning about the
area/industry/market, you make professional contacts and sometimes good
friendships.
