TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well, I don't know where you are, how many years' experience you have,
what your expertise is, what tools you know, what you expect for a
(I'm guessing hourly) rate, what your resume looks like, how you're
sending it out, what your cover letters look like, or really anything
much at all about your situation. I do know the market's better than
it was a couple of years ago, and contract opportunities are growing
in number.
