Finding a Job as a Technical Communicator: Strategies for Defining Goals and Opportunities  

One of our main objectives as technical communicators is to practice our craft. Those of us who are unemployed or underemployed know that we need to have the job we want in order to make the contribution we know we can. Those of us who are currently employed should be continually looking for that next opportunity. The same skills that make us good technical communicators serve us well in our job search. With a little inspiration and a lot of perspiration, we can get the right job.
