Subject:Question: Market for Technical Writing From:Ed Gomez <egomez -at- KOMINT -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:35:56 -0500
Dear Sirs/Ms.
I have a friend who is dissatisfied about her present work situation and would
like to break into the field of Technical Writing. She has an English degree
but no technical writing experience. She has a solid knowledge of computers and
the internet. She was asking me, what is the market like for technical writing
opportunities and where are most of the companies located that hire these kinds
of writers?
Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
