Today’s show teaches listeners about mentoring and the immense value that it can provide to both junior and senior IT professionals and technical writers. Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the article "Why Mentoring is Important in Technical Writing" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on October 8, 2024. An excerpt from the article: "Personally, one of the most important things I have gained from mentors over the years is insight from their lessons learned. Whether gained from failures or successes (any credible mentor should have both), the ability to objectively analyze personal or outside case studies to determine what went right and what went wrong is of tremendous value to a junior tech writer."
