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.
"Hello,
I want to know if instructional technology or technical writing are
recession-proof jobs. I have searched the internet and read good things
about both fields in terms of the recession not affecting either career.
Thanks."
Recession-proof? Stick around this list for a while, and you'll see
that jobs in this field are *by no means* recession-proof. Though I'm
sad to say it, quite a few TECHWR-Lers have shared their layoff / job
hunt stories over the past year.
Anyway, it's hard to believe that *any job* is truly recession-proof.
