oCould always
go through a contract house (headhunter)
• Consulting uses all of the
skills of a big business in one convenient package - yourself!You must determine what skills people will
buy, how to advertise your services, write convincing proposals, negotiate
and close a contract, do the accounting, and perform the work.
•I have done
everything from installing accounting systems to developing global
information databases.
•A customer provides
the work for which you are paid.A
boss provides the work while trying to keep you from getting paid.Two percent raises were not my idea of
getting ahead when inflation was higher than two percent.
• If you are not good at the marketing and sales piece, you
can sign up with a contract house.A
contract house places you on consulting assignments.A fee is taken from your billing rate for
finding you the work.
