Job Resources for Technical Communicators

Technical Communications Resources
New Writers: Resources for New Technical Writers, this Web site is a result of the STC-Houston "Share-the-Knowledge" workshop.

STC: The Society for Technical Communication

Techwr-l: An unmoderated discussion forum for technical communication topics. If you are a student, or just someone interested in technical communication topics, join the list and benefit from over 4100 subscribers' expertise, education, and experience.

Check out Writing for the Technical Professions Online!, an online version of a technical communications textbook, where you will find a reference to my resume in one of their articles.

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.
