Last minute Reminder:

For those of you who missed my other announcement:

Announcing the first annual Midnight Engineering ME-SKI conference.
Some of you may remember the old _Micro_Cornucopia_ SOGs (Semi-Official
Gettogethers).  Midnight Engineering magazine is picking up on the 
spirit of SOG in the form of ME-SKI 92.  Held in Breckenridge, CO at
the Breckenridge Hilton, the conference runs Friday (tomorrow), Saturday
and Sunday.  Days are to be filled with Skiing, networking, boy/girl
watching and all the other good stuff you do at a ski resort.
Evenings and nights will host seminars and round tables on subjects of
interest to ME readers and small businessmen.  I will be giving 
presentations based on my series of articles in ME on fire and the 
small businessman and on contract engineering.

Cost is $99 for the weekend plus lodging and meals.  Walkins are welcome.

The motel is nominally booked up for the weekend but other facilities
within 10 minutes of the Hilton have plenty of room.  Plus there
will be cancellations.  If you call the Hilton, mention ME-SKI 92 and
get the group rate of $78 per nite.

If you live within driving distance of Breckenridge or want to fly in at 
the last minute, come on up and enjoy this event.  Remember, there won't be 
another first time.

The motel can be reached at 800 321 8444.  When you arrive or if you
want more information, contact Bill Gates in Room 604 after 8:30 AM
tomorrow (Friday).

See ya there.

Note: Replies such as this in which the replier a) didn't take the

statements based on his flawed understanding, indicate that the
replier is terminally retarted.

As to the first point, Lindsey means don't reply to him.  Note the
operative word "forwarded".

As to the second, many human resource departments do not consider
e-mailed inquiries and resumes sufficient for the same reason that
they don't consider hand-written or 7-pin dot-matrix prinited resumes
sufficient.  That is, they are not a professional representation of
the applicant.  Remember, most recruters are buisiness types, not
computer types.  They like nicely formatted resumes on good paper
with cover letters, etc., etc.  Why buisiness types are this way is a
matter of conjecture, but if one really wants a job, one learns to
occasionally play by their rules :-).

One usually figures these things out around high-school graduation time.

Also, hard as it my be for you to believe, many recruters are not 
hooked up to the net (*gasp*).  Doesn't mean that they don't know 
about good jobs, though.

I'm going to be selling CASE software for a US company in Japan.
Their software retails for about $600/copy here, and they have been
selling to distributors for about $300.  I will be selling their
software for them to distributors in Japan (probably for around $300)
and will be getting a commission and money for phone calls and FAXes.
The following is their proposal:

	1-50 copies:	20% commission
	50 + copies:	12% commission

	fax/phone:	up to $300/month reimbursement

Four questions:

1. Does this pay scale seem reasonable?
2. Does the commission normally go down with more copies??
3. Are there any good books or articles with example contracts for
   doing this kind of thing?
4. Do you have any general advice on this matter?

Please respond to me at:

I have to agree with Mats.  The second most incredible problem of
independent consulting and contracting is the awesome greed of prople
that want to broker services.  They see me making $50-$65/hr and they
want a huge chunk of the action.  50% is not uncommon.  Naturally I tell
them to take a hike.  They say they can get $85-$100/hour, and they want
50%, no less.

Most times these same people want to provide the introduction and they
still want 40%-50% of the action.  I cannot understand what is in their
heads.  The extent of their involvement is, "Randy, meet Mr. Client.  Mr. 
Client meet Randy.  Well, I'm sure you both have alot to discuss so I just
see you later Randy.".  Big smile and exit for duration of contract. 

For those people I offer $1000 if I make more than $10,000.  If I make
less, they are thanked and I go on my way.  If I make more, I'd consider
offering more but all I'll offer is 10% flat rate.  At no time will I
let them intervene in the billing cycle.

Oh, the single most incredible problem of independent consulting and
contracting are the client companies that want a bloated bureaucracy
behind the contractor before they'll hire.  Incredible. 

I didn't get my 12+ years of computer experience and 4 years of college
to be treated like crap.  If I want that, I'll get a real job. 

Cheers!

Yes this is potentially a problem.  Especially given that (and I forgot
to mention this in my original posting) they do not insure people with
pre-existing conditions.  Thus my wife, who has arthritis, can not be
covered with this policy... only myself and my son.  Fortunately this isn't
a problem since my wife is covered by her employer's group policy.

On the other hand you would expect someone dealing with, and being promoted
by, the Chamber of Commerce to have a reasonable reputation.

What kind of "safeguards" are in an individual policy that aren't in a
group policy?

As for the backing of a big company, I'll investigate the underwriter, United
Chambers, and will report back what I find.
