Re: Current job market for tech writers

[Ymorrigu -at- aol -dot- com]

>>This is the state of the technical writing job market in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, D.C., and Central Pennsylvania. There are a lot of
advertised technical writing positions in the D.C. area, but it seems like
over 70% of these positions require a security clearance of some kind of
another. <<


But, that being said, if you have a security clearance and a tad of experience, your options are still great in the DC Metro area.  I was laid off from one job in the beginning of May, and found a job in less than a week.  I basically got a pay raise and a paid two-week vacation by being laid off AND by having that active security clearance and enough technical know-how to get me in the door.
