From: Lori Smith
I am brand new to the list, but have enjoyed reading the messages so
far. I am looking for some part time freelance tech writing jobs I can
do from home. (I would like to pay for this computer, as well as enhance
my resume!) I was thinking along the lines of convesions (from hard copy
to online help, from one tool to another), indexing technical documents,
and so on. I have tried many of the job search engines on the www. Do
you have any tips on how I could continue my search?
---------------------------
1. Look in the Yellow Pages under Employment Contractors--Temporary
Help.
2. Check the STC Job Line.
3. Stand next to a major intersection with a sign reading "Will convert
technical documents for food."
