Securing long-distance contract assignments

["Poshedly, Ken" <PoshedlyK -at- polysius -dot- com>]

Hey Gang!

To follow up on Geoff Hart's comments about working from home, I would
LOVE to work from home, but no matter how much business talks-the-talk,
they refuse to walk-the-walk (to lift an overused phrase from the
asinine O.J. Simpson trail of the 1990s).

So how does one secure an at-home tech writing contract job for a client
far too far to actually meet with? Occasional visits onsite at client's
expense are just fine, though.

With a wife securely entrenched in her job with 19 years as a
transportation engineer at a firm here in metro Atlanta (a great thing
to be in this city!), and two middle-school-age kids in a pretty good
school district (very uncommon for this state), relocation is not an
option.

I myself have over 22 years documenting everything from computer
accessories (2 years), to factory equipment (12 years), to heavy
earth-moving equipment & forklift trucks (7 years), to cement
manufacturing plant design and startup (now over just 1 year). Plus 10
years before that in other journalistic positions.)

At my age (57, which we covered in previous posts late last year), it's
harder to secure fulltime permanent employment, and I have to admit that
I like what I do (contract tech writing).

Any ideas, suggestions?

Again, securing long-distance contract tech writing assignments.
