September's Almost Here

Tech writing jobs tend to peak during the months of January and September. Perhaps that is why I spent most of this week fielding responses to my applications and interviewing.

The one notable exception to my otherwise productive week was an automated rejection letter I received within an hour of submitting a given application. Then again, I found that incident rather hilarious. I could just imagine the system automatically searching my data for the programmed buzz words, then whirring and shooting off an email informing me that my application is being rejected. Anyhow, I had never received such a letter before, so now at least I know for the future.

Since I fielded two enquiries today alone from applying to agencies after their job posting expired, it would seem that spending some time making contact with companies and expanding your network now could prove fruitful in the coming month.

In any event, here's hoping that this post helps at least one reader get their dream job. Happy job hunting everyone!
