perm or contract?

Post #24,031 by slugbug 1/12/02 11:37:35 AM Reply	perm or contract? Are you looking for a perm position right now? If so, you're right -- the market does suck! However, there is plenty of contract and freelance work available. Have you tried that?

Actually, I prefer being a contractor... thing is, in Raleigh, NC (where I live) the only tech writing work I've found requires extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, which I don't have... and I bought a house two years ago, so I really don't want to relocate.

I've tried looking under "telecommute" on monster.com, and I keep finding the dubious stuff... you know, "work at home and make lots of money by creating spam!"

STL Firms seem to think that they can force IT workers to do the job of 2 or 3 people so they can hire 1 person to do the job of 2 or 3. I'll be sending you an email for the links as well. Thanks.
