atw: Re: Employment: Ways to shout that I am looking for work in Melbourne

Hi Lee - If your resume still needs work, directioneering in Sydney is great 
for improving it. There is no doubt a similar company in Melbourne. As for tech 
writer placements, I'm ignorant of what's in Melbourne but in Sydney there's 
Tech Writer - contact Lyneve Rappell - or HCi - contact Julia Liu. They're both 
good companies and they get requests from interstate.

Having a hot resume is key, I think, because job placement companies rely on 
them. And they add them to a database and search on them, so you want all the 
right words to be in there.

Cheers,

Hello Everyone

I have been a technical writer for 20 years. In that time I have had  
two jobs. Now I am looking for job number 3. I am not very practiced  
in the art of job hunting and am looking for advice.

Specifically, are there a lot of unadvertised technical writer  
positions? How do you get to hear about them?

Thanks

Elizabeth
