They are asking for consulting for free. They may not even have a guy that's retiring, they just want 30 experts to come in and tell them, FOR FREE, what they should be doing next. Then, they can send the 30-years-experience guy to school for the new thing, and look how much money they save! No work on spec. YOUR job , in the interview, is to convince them that you are the person qualified to work for them to answer that question. You show them that by asking more questions about the application than they can answer to show that you see the need to plan ahead, analyse the situation, research and design the optimal solution. Prove that you are qualified in the interview. Then, they can hire you to solve their problems. As a consultant, I have had to fall back to the line that "I can only give advice as part of client-consultant contractual relationship." -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4tuj0uao__egeukzxz3pjqb3mkz5u4tgdp2pt2iawt...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
