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.
Speaking of writing tests, here's a laugh of the day.
Last Thursday, one of our managers was interviewing a
pretty-good candidate for a tech writing position
in Houston. After leaving the candidate alone for a
several minutes with the writing test, the manager looked
in on the candidate, and he had cut and run! No sign
of him or the test anywhere.
If you are ever asked to take a writing test during an
interview, do these things:
1. Refresh yourself the day before by reading a
writing/editing book like the _Handbook of Technical
Writing_.
