Dan, Check out the colleges and universities in your area. They generally have a computer services dept. Many of the workers are students, but the dept. managers are not. That's a good suggestion. I am also a computer programmer, and have been working part-time since February due to my employer's decision to stop seeking outside programming contracts. The only work has been for internal use. I have been drawing partial unemployment benefits, but they will run out in another couple of months. I have 18 years experience, and have applied for numerous jobs, but haven't received any job offers. So, anyone have a suggestion for an unemployed tech writer? Joyce |

Dan,
Check out the colleges and universities in your area. They generally have a computer services dept. Many of the workers are students, but the dept. managers are not. Annie Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that a try. Dan |

In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", John F. Eldredge
artfully composed this message within on 17 Jun 2004: I am also a computer programmer, and have been working part-time since February due to my employer's decision to stop seeking outside programming contracts. The only work has been for internal use. I have been drawing partial unemployment benefits, but they will run out in another couple of months. I have 18 years experience, and have applied for numerous jobs, but haven't received any job offers. Some of the trends lately bother me WRT to computer jobs. I'm a systems administrator (applications specialist mostly, anymore) and our company leans toward DIY type content management systems that allow non-technical people to publish web content. Interwoven in our case. Of course it requires technical people to set up the system and all of the templates and workflow, but after that all of the real day-to-day work is done by those non techies. The technical industry is changing, and where there used to be home- grown apps built based on a custom design, everything now is browser-accessible, and out-of-the-box is in it seems to me. I don't say this to depress you or Dan or anyone else out of work due to the current tech situation. Times have changed, the workplace has changed, and we have to change. I'm doing things now I never ever planned to, or even wanted to. If my job were to become obsolete (and it is possible with the trend!) I think I would make a drastic career change or even look into consulting work. Small business is IN with government agencies these days. Big business is forced to partner with small business to win contracts. Something to think about. -- Cheryl |
