RE: Techwriting after the boom

["GeneK" <gene -at- genek -dot- com>]

If you've got your sights set on a direct-hire position,
things are pretty dismal.  My last direct position went
away in the beginning of March.  I've taken a half-dozen
interviews so far, but none has materialized.  OTOH, if you
have a lot of experience and a technical background, 
contract work seems to abound in my area.  I started a 
short one about a month after my last direct paycheck, and
right after that one ended started a two-monther that has
just been extended to the end of Nov.  Other calls are
coming in, and I've done one or two short part-time ones
on the side of this big one.  So it's bad, but it could be
worse.
