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.
Instead of using a job title as your objective, describe the type of
responsiblities you want to have. REMEMBER: Job titles can be misleading.
Therefore, you are better off doing a very short description. A description
will also keep you resume from finding its way to the trash can because their
position is called something different from what you have on your resume.
Keep in mind that not everyone will know what a tech writer does and therefore
may think that you're applying for something different (many people who
initallysee a resume have nothing to do with the actual job).
