Technical Writing Jobs

People keep asking me about places that train you to be a technical writer (in Bangalore), and how to get tech writing jobs. Here's some info that people have given me:

Training

The Writers Block apparently trains you and puts you on assignments - have heard they are pretty good: http://www.blogger.com/www.twb.in

Write Concept - http://www.write-concept.com - they train people and when found suitable, deploy them on client projects. People get individualized training here.

Triumph India - http://www.triumphindia.com// - they employ you and train you.

Mailing Groups

This is probably the place to start - TWIN - the Technical Writers of India site.

http://www.twin-india.org/

You can join the mailing group and get info about job openings.

Then there's this one too - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/technical_writers_india/

The STC group is the other place where jobs are posted: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/stcindia
