Job seeking

[vvvexation]

As some of you know, I've been looking for entry-level tech writing work for a while now, and so far haven't had much luck finding any. My medium-term financial situation is starting to get a bit desperate; if I don't find a permanent job within the next month, I am going to have to leave the Bay Area completely for an indefinite number of months, unless I miraculously discover a place around here where I can crash rent-free for a while.

So I need help. If you know of or find out about any available entry-level tech writing jobs, please pass them along; if you don't know whether your company is hiring but are willing to forward my resume to whoever might be willing to take a look at it, let me know and I'll send it to you.

(Actually, an educational writing job would be even better--right now I'm freelancing for a textbook publisher, and loving it--so if you know of anything like that, I'd be even more happy to hear about it. But tech writing is my second choice, especially if it involves end-user documentation, and I figure that's where my chances of finding any job at all are better.)

Thanks in advance for any assistance y'all can provide.

Do you know savorie? She does tech writing and was recently jobhunting and I know came up with a couple of different offers so she may still have leads. Of course she's not entry level...

I don't know whether we're hiring tech writers, but it couldn't hurt to send a resume to jobs@mozilla.com. Tell 'em I sent you.

I've been passing her leads as I see them. :)

It's really a hard situation-- most of the leads I get are looking for non-enty-level writers.

If I hear of anything, I'll let you know. I am sorry to hear it's being so hard. I do hope you find something and get to stay.
