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 some general questions on the procedures and protocols of
contracting part-time, and outside of regular working hours:
1. Is that type of work typically available? It seems that most of the
discussion of contracting on this list is about full-time, temporary
positions.
2. Who pays for the necessary software to carry out an assignment? I
assume that the company would provide copies of the software they would
like documented, but what about software needed to compose the
documentation, e.g. RoboHelp or FrameMaker. Is this generally the
responsibility of the contractor, or the employer?
Thanks,
