 Is that not the case for any job out there? Finding the right job is part luck, part timing, and a large amount of persistence.
 
 Vincent, if you really are determined to find a technical writing position, you will. I caution you to temper your initial salary expectations since you have less of a portfolio than many already bearing the TW label.
 
 Yes, you can find that foot-in-the-door job. No, there's no one right way to go about it.
 
 Best of everything!
