Technical Writing Employment Databases Return to TopPurposeThe following section lists various employment databases available on the Internet, as well as information on NMSU’s Placement and Career Services Office. The Internet resources were chosen because of their relevancy to a technical writing career. This list is by no means comprehensive, it is merely a sampling of the databases provided over the Internet. This listing is a good place to start but keep in mind there are many other databases in which to look. The following document is broken into two segments: Internet and NMSU resources. The Internet section first lists the database address followed by a brief explanation of the database. The NMSU section describes the Placement office located in Garcia Annex and provides their web address and phone number. A. Careershop is a premier job site for computer professionals offering technology jobs, resume posting, job searching and career resources. They have databases in the following regions: New England, Mid Atlantic, Carolinas and San Francisco Bay. 1. Dice This database provides an extensive list of some of the more advanced technical writing jobs. Most of the jobs found in this database are located in the Silicon Valley of California, and thus, the jobs are mostly for software documentation. 2. STC The Society of Technical Communication (STC) maintains many web sites each with a different job bank. All of the sites can be accessed through the above address. 3. American Job Bank This is the American Job Bank. This is a very extensive job bank that contains the most jobs. However, this site is not specific to Technical Writing as the STC site is, but does include quite a comprehensive list. 5. Career Builder This site uses national newspaper ads to locate jobs. After the user selects the newspaper, job description, and date of publication, the database will then search for relevant matches. 6. Monster This job bank provides the user with a query box to input keywords for employment searches. Many of the jobs offered are for computer documentation and programming. NMSU EmploymentEmployment opportunities are available through the NMSU Placement and Career Services Office located in Garcia Annex. Once a student’s file is processed, the student can interview with employers. The problem is that very few employers, other than IBM, come to NMSU seeking technical writing students. However, there are many other employers seeking english majors for various careers. The phone number is (505) 646-1631.
