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.
What harm can come of looking all over? You may even end up with two offers in hand that you can leverage, one from out of town and one in town. Or who knows, maybe you'll find work someplace you'd like even better. If you have the time to search, why not look for jobs in all of the places that you'd really like to live?

A lot of great answers to my initial question. Thanks!
No intent to provide a life story here... but I'm coming back to TW
after a number of years in other related fields (documentation, web
design, project management) for a handful of employers. In looking for
TW positions, I'd prefer to work nearby (rather not have to sell or
rent my house out, if possible), but I'm not opposed to taking contract
positions anywhere. Using my own scale here, jobs in the local area
rank higher. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have asked the earlier
question.
Should I lose the focus on local jobs and begin applying all over the
country? This is unfamiliar territory for me. I just don't know what
the process entails.
Thanks!
