-----Original Message----- From: katherine wilson [mailto:katherine.wilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, 2 June 2004 6:33 AM To: austechwriter-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: query Hi I was wondering if you could post an anonymous message to the list, or whether you are able to answer me directly. I live in NZ, and my husband and I want to move to Brisbane (area). We see there are a lot of technical writing jobs available, mostly contracts. Does anyone on the list live in the Brisbane area, or can any recruiter on the list, give me some sort of idea how many people are applying for these contract jobs, and whether anyone has actually been offered a contract position after applying to a recruiter ad. I wonder this as there is one job at the moment that keeps on coming up on my Seek jobmail, it's been there for weeks, and I wonder if there just aren't the people with all the skills they require, or is the company/recruiter being too picky? If anyone can give me an insight into the contracting/permanent job market in the Brisbane area I would love to hear from you. We are prepared to pack up and move without jobs to come to, but would like to think that there may be a good chance of picking up a contract here and there. Thank you.
