Hello,

I am currently a senior at the University of Houston majoring in English with a minor in Education. I've been a Writing Consultant for the university Writing Center for five semesters; working with undergraduate and graduate students (including English as a Second Language (ESL) students) majoring in the Engineering, Business, Law, Geoscience, History, English, and Marketing on their essays, proposals, resumes, progress reports, and thesis and dissertation essays.

Thanks to a great suggestion from Dori Green, there's a new discussion list (or support group) specifically for job search-related needs. You'll find it at:
http://lists.techwr-l.com/mailman/listinfo/techwr-l-job-search

Look for more information later, but for now, if you're in the market for a job, have the cycles to support or help others who are looking, or just want to keep your fingers on the pulse of the technical communication job searchers, join in!
