Hi all.
I am looking into a writing position where I'll be creating paper and online
documents using FrameMaker. The position is an on-site contract position
(possibly going permanent) located in the Lehigh Valley, which is 1 hour north
of Philadelphia. I have a BS EET degree and 3+ years writing experience.
I would like to know what other companies are willing to pay for this type of
position. I don't want to price myself too low, but I also don't want to price
myself out of the position. Any help you can give me would be greatly
appreciated.
