A friend of a friend finds themselves at the end of 30+ year career<br>
in a new of a new position. Highly skilled technical writer, worked in<br>
several of the well known high-tech firms. Needs a new placement,<br>
full-time, part- or contractual.<br>
<br>
I don't know where I should suggest she look, besides the usual<br>
platitudes of "call all your contacts and exercise your networks,"<br>
which she's already working.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for online services worth the effort, or does anyone<br>
know anyone looking?<br>
