Lockley'" Subject: Re: STC Job opportunity Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 12:29:51 -0500 Cynthia: I wanted to let you know that the Technical Writer position advertised by HuskyLabs (now Ultraprise) has been filled. Through the posting on the STC site, I received many excellent resumes, and was able to speak to many of the very qualified people who sent them in. This site is a tremendous resource, and I really appreciate the service. We eventually hired a Lead Writer and a contractor, both of whom were referred by the STC job listing, and I have been recommending this resource to other hiring parties. Thanks again! BunE

The fantastic response has generated more than sufficient leads and the position has been filled. I will contact all the respondents, but it would be nice to have the posting removed so as not to falsely elevate the hopes of other society members. I will definitely promote STC as the place to be for future such requirements. Mark
