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 have 19 years of experience writing manuals (operation, service,
training), ads, direct mail, marketing collateral, tech. journal articles,
and video scripts. Plus, I have more than 9 years of experience managing
publication departments. I have been out of work for a year, and am
finding it increasingly difficult to get a job. Have done some freelance
work. Can anyone else out there identify with this? Any advice?
