Here is a comprehensive list of sites on the internet that contain available
jobs for technical communicators. I've found positions for entry level
communicators as well as seasoned veterans. Some of the positions are with
contract houses while others are full-time positions. Some of them also offer
help with resume development and career development skills. Let me know
if any of them help you land a job by signing my guestbook or
E-mailing me. Also, please E-mail me if
you know of any other great sites. If you want to post an open position,
just E-mail me the information and I will post it on this page. If you
want to
advertise your services, let me know and I will add that as well. No charge!

Jobs throughout the World
The Monster Board: One of the biggest job
boards on the internet. Select "job search", select United States or
International depending on where you want to work, select your country or
state, then select "engineering-technical writing."
jobfind.com: Select your state, select
"technical", click on "search", select "technical writer", select the number
of ads to display (the default is 5), click on "next." If you are an editor
instead of a writer, this site has "technical editor" listed as well.
STC: This is the
Society for Technical Communication, THE professional organization for technical
communicators. If you are not yet a member, you should sign up. To
find information on jobs, select "employment" from the pull down menu
and then click on the GO button.
The Computer Jobs Store: This
site
already has a category set up just for technical writers. Click on your
regional area, click on "find a job" and then scroll down while looking at
the right hand side of the page. Under the "Position" category you will
find "Technical Writer." This site is updated hourly.
Net-Temps: At this site you can search for jobs and/or post your resume. I found several technical writing jobs under the Information Technology career channel. Just select the link, select the area of the country where you want to work and type "write" or "writer" in the search box.
Telecommuting Jobs
Here is a list of sites with telecommuting jobs.
Jobs in the Bay Area
If there is a lack of jobs in your area, move to the Bay area in California.
It has an abundance of technical writing jobs. I am confident that a
technical writer could move there and have a job within the week. If anybody
else has had a different experience, please let me know.
listfoundation.org: Just click on
"writing jobs." Search in the other areas as well because I found some
technical writing jobs under each category. The only thing I don't like about
this site is the absence of a search engine...
JobsJobsJobs:
Just like the one above, this site is crammed full of jobs for technical
communicators. The major difference? This site has search capabilities.
Silicon Valley
Technical Employment Agencies: A list of over 200 technical employment
agencies located in and around Silicon Valley in California's
San Francisco Bay Area.
