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.
The most irritating thing I have noticed is a lack of knowledge of US
geography (I've worked in enough global orgs to be able to listen
through most accents, and there is enough turnover in recruiters that
ignorance of employment law isn't an indication of anything other than
ignorance of employment law). It doesn't take very many instances of
recruiters contacting you in California about 3 month contracts in
Minnesota or Georgia to realize that the person sending the message has
no idea where any US location is. Although given the state of the US
education system, it is becoming increasingly possible that such
messages may be originating from people born and raised right here.
