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 tend to ignore any resume that comes to me that isn't
specifically targeted to my company and its potential
needs. Mostly, they just increase the background
noise level that a really good professional needs to
stand out against. OTOH, there are those who have
said they did get callbacks after using one.
