Just got out in Dec, and I've been looking for a job as a technical writer in the RTP area.

I've not had a ton of luck finding anything, and a friend recently suggested trying to find a temp agency to get my foot in the door and get experience for the resume.

Does anyone have any experience with going through a temp agency and if you have, which ones would you recommend?

your friend could be right

what are your qualifications that are tech. industry? it must be more than a degree in history - from the technical documents i've seen come from ibm they could use some although not sure if they are hiring

not that there arent plenty of tech writing jobs, but i always recommend either looking in more regions or opening up the job description a bit.
