Re: Trouble finding work

[HBacheler -at- aol -dot- com]

I have found a lot of ads for technical writer,  documentation specialist, 
etc.,, that require working knowledge/experience in  Rational (RUP, ClearCase, 
SODA), Oracle (Various version), C++, Java, etc., (et  al, programmers), which 
I do not see as background a 'technical writer' would  normally be expected to 
have.

To look at the 'requirements, experience'  in the position experience, it 
seems that they are looking for a 18-hour-day  split 6-hours here, 6-hours there, 
and another 6 hours if we can  get
it.

And all of this for $20.00 hour.

I have been to  CareerBuilder, DICE, CareerJobs, Americas Job Bank, and 
others and the same  seems to be the norm.

And then there are the 'make $6000.00 to $10000 a  month' jobs targeting 
accountants, and all sorts of people.

I even had an  insurance company say my resume was right up their alley.

About 5  companies wanted to 'fine tune my resume' so that I could get a job. 
 At  $300-$1200 for the task.

Oh, well, let's keep  truckin'

Sincerely,

Harry M. Bacheler, Jr.
