Subject:re: current job market for contract tech writers From:"Gale Stafford" <gstafford -at- bitwiser -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 29 May 2002 09:47:44 -0700
I'm creating a user's guide and online help system for a small company based
in San Francisco. Before I got this contract, I had been out of work for
nine months. Not fun. I was living in Boulder, CO and just could not afford
it. So I relocated back to the midwest to keep my costs of living at a
minimum.
My client in SF has interviewed me for an IT support and technical training
position in their company. If they offer me the job, I'll take it! Its only
20% tech writing but in this market, just about any tech job is a good job.
