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.
Subject:What do we call ourselves (revisited) From:Jody Kyle/MANUGISTICS <manu!manu -dot- com!Jody_Kyle -at- UUNET -dot- UU -dot- NET> Date:Wed, 2 Aug 1995 09:37:12 EDT
The documentation group I work with is investigating the possibility of
changing our job titles from Technical Writer to ?????. Some of the group
members (including me) believe that "Technical Writer" does not completely
describe the work we do. Some of the proposed titles are Software
Documentation Designer, Information Developer, and Information Analyst. What
other titles do techwhirlers use or favor?
I realize that this topic has been discussed on techwr-l before, so please send
responses to saj -at- manu -dot- com -dot- We'll post a summary of the responses to the list.
TIA.
