Re: Contracts for work

2005-07-02 Thread Mark Holm
 It's not normal in my experience. What are some of the escape clauses
 and where do you live?
 
This is what I find to be bothersome:

3.2. Payments. SSA shall remit payment to Contractor when the monies are 
received from SSA’s customer and on receipt of all properly submitted 
invoices, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing in Section 7 of the Order. 
The Contractor shall not be entitled to payment to the extent that the client 
refuses to pay SSA for the services of the Contractor’s employees because of 
unsatisfactory performance.

Contracts for work

2005-07-01 Thread Mark Holm
I've been offered a position as a contractor. I've always worked on W-2 in all 
previous positions.
So I have no benifits, etc.. however what is disturbing to me is it looks like 
by the wording of the contract they have many escape clasues not to not pay 
me for various reasons.
Is this normal?

Thanks,
Mark Holm

Phone interviews

2005-06-30 Thread Mark Holm
Is it common now for a company to say they will call for a phone interview but 
not give a time. Then not call on the day they say they would. 2 days later I 
get an email saying it has been reschedule for another day with no clue to the 
time?
In the past all phone interview I've had were for specific days/time. This 
seems really unprofessional to me and hard to take serious.

Is this the norm now?

TIA
Mark Holm

Typing test for programming?

2005-06-01 Thread Mark Holm
HI,
I'm applying for a position. I have to take a typing speed test.. this is the 
1st position I've ever applied for that requested this.
Is this common?
My typing speed sucks..well because I never learned to touch type..but it 
hasn't hindered my work in the past. I have never had to type somebody else 
words..so I don't see the relivance to doing programming.

Can anybody suggest a good and quick way to increase my typing speed in a few 
days?

TIA
Mark Holm
