Hello,
      I hope this is an appropriate place for this posting as I am unable
to actually read the newsgroup, it is just a name that I was given!

I am hoping to move to Albany NY in March or April of this year. I
graduated from Portsmouth Polytechnic last July with an Bachelor of
Engineering Honours Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
This was a four year course, of which the third was spent working at
IBM Havant where I became responsible for maintaining PC driven test
software. My final year of the course was spent specialising in ADA and
Microwaves & Telecommunications. I have also spent some time on 'C', UNIX
and Pascal. We also covered Analogue and Digital Electronics, VLSI,
Electrostatics, Advanced Microprocessors, Control, Software Design and
Management Skills.

I am currently working for IBM UK, which is where I spent a year working
as an Industrial Trainee / Co-op. I have been accepted to RPI for a
Masters Program in Computer Engineering but I am currently unable to
fund my study. I am also waiting for a Fiancee Visa from the INS, which
will allow me to enter the US and start work. Hopefully this will be
issued sometime in March or April.

I am currently working on a project that is mainly PC based to measure
Power Supply voltages of the Network controllers that are built here in
Havant. Besides this interest in computing I have also under gone
training the Royal Air Force and have a Private Pilots License and an
FAA waiver. I am a Queens' Scout (equivalent to Eagle Scout) and I am
also hoping to continue my work within the community by joining a
Volunteer Fire Department.

I would be interested in any positions available, either for a short
term or longer, I would also be interested in any sponsorship that may
be available to help me with my Masters Programme.

I'd gladly welcome any comments or advice that you may have to offer, and
to supply any further details that you would like.

Thanks,
        Bryan.

PS, I believe there is a problem with this poster that sends out
duplicate entries - sorry.

To take it out of the consulting arena - Suppose you need some plumbing 
repairs. Are your expectations of performance the same from someone who
gives you a quote of $50/hour the same as someone who gives you a quote
of $100/hour? Why the difference in rates? I think I would expect a lot
more for $100/hour and be upset if I felt I was only getting $50/hour 
worth of service.

Many clients I work for have made comments like "I wish I made as much per 
hour as you." without knowing how much per hour I make. All of my contracts
how stipulated that my rate is not to be disclosed to anyone - clients or
fellow contractors. 

A question for you, David. Do you have this restriction on rate info in
your contracts and if yes, why?

Presenting a programmer's resume to _anyone_ without explicit
permission is very unprofessional.

As a former programmer/consultant & present broker I consider
my resume & reputation my most important asset.
Brokers who are sloppy with your resume, IMHO, do not 
deserve your business.

As in any business, the best brokers are up front about
the service they are offering & the price they are charging.

I'm biased.

It is if the person or company doing the hiring is interested in it.

The federal government and the City of Dallas, where I live, are
two entities that care.

As an aside, I think that we'd all be better off if we not have this
argument in this forum.

In the Wash DC area, jacking a rate by more that 30% by a broker starts to
look like robbery, 50% is gross, and above that is rediculious.  This
is assuming that the broker is only doing the sales and money handling,
not providing benifits from that percentage.  If a company is providing
full beni's, then 80%-100% is not unreasonable.
