We have an opening for a Technical Writer (on contract) to work for

computer so that you may learn it as well. You can work remotely or  
onsite, whichever you prefer. This will require coming to our  
headquarters offices in Skaneateles, NY once a week for a meeting with  
the team. In addition, you will have the opportunity to travel  
(completely paid of course) to our clients offices for a few meetings  
as well - Working with designers and others within the team, you will  
have responsibility for developing and writing the entire User Manual.

We are looking for someone who has solid experience in writing  
technical manuals ideally for software applications. Other  
requirements include effective communication skills in conveying ideas  
to the team and client, flexibility, extremely well organized and  
strong attention to detail. Experience with Adobe InDesign is  
preferred but not required. This is a fun client, fun project and a  
terrific group of people to work with! To apply, please send your

Hi Sharon - Please send me the job description (if there's more to it)  
and I'll forward it to the CNYSTC listserve.  I prefer just a text  
file within the email itself as most folks distrust attachments.  But  
if it needs to be an attachment please send a PDF formatted file NOT a  
WORD file.

Or is your email the complete description?  I think members would like  
to know the location (even if its approximate) and the skill set  
that's desired.

Thanks much,

Russ

Hello Russ,

Julie Martin forwarded your contact information to me. We are looking  
for a technical writer to work on a project for a client of ours, a  
leading shipping/delivery company. This is a contract position.

Julie mentioned that you could post this position perhaps? Could you  
please let me know what the process is to do this. I did sign-on with  
the STC website so if it's through there I'm glad to go there directly.

Thanks very much.
