RE: Salary issues

["Kristen" <kristen -at- write-connection -dot- com>]

You make some excellent points.  I know many recruiters that I would not
trust further than I could throw them.  I think a key factor (as I have
mentioned before) is finding a recruiter that knows what you do.  I don't
think a general IT recruiter is going to fully understand what you do -
therefore, they will have no idea how to represent you.  Find a recruiter
that understands the importance of documentation.  I say "find" because they
are out there.  Most of them make themselves available on the Web.  I search
for quality technical writers and editors every day.  I am willing to pay
for quality - even if I have to sacrifice some payment on my end.  The truth
is, I would rather find a quality candidate and make less money due to the
higher pay rate because the client will be pleased and call me again.  There
is no point in paying a senior technical writer $30-35/hour to do a poor
job.  The client will never call again.
