This week

  • Hyderabad had far fewer writing roles than product roles this week. The searches found 11 technical writer roles there and 75 for product managers and product owners.
  • One freelance call, for writers who can turn research reports into stories, closes on 6 October.
  • Only one technical writing role passed the worldwide check: Canonical. Job boards tag many roles as worldwide, and most turned out to be limited to the Americas or Europe once I read the listing.
