There are also a few agencies in the UK you should consider, CherryLeaf and
Plain Words being two that spring to mind.

I know there's an STC (Society for Technical Communication) chapter in the
UK. That is a good source for finding jobs in the TW field. Here's the
information from www.stc.org.

I'm an active member of the Phoenix, AZ chapter and 95% of my jobs over the
last 6 years have come through the organization and people I've met at
meetings. I'm a freelancer, but there are often folks with captive jobs.

Hi
The reason I ask, is that in the searches I have done for Tech jobs, there
seems to be very few. From one of the stats sites I used, it said that the
number of jobs posted has dropped since last year. The jobs are permanent
though, so are contract positions more readily available?
