Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Vetting Technical Writing Resources" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on August 20, 2024.
An excerpt from the article: "Regardless of whether you're a senior or junior technical writer, a hype machine surrounds us all (including our clients and employers). We continually are exposed to social media posts, banner ads, and other forms of promotion that claim they can turn us into ace technical writers or get us unlimited clients and amazing revenue streams in record time.
"I'm here to tell you: Don't believe the hype! Below are a few tips and tricks to help technical writers like us avoid the hyperbole and stay aligned with reliable, reputable technical writing resources for direction and mentoring in our careers. Or who to hire for your staff."
