Frankly, if you can't find a "real" job with your particular expertise,
consulting is not likely to be any better.  I have been an independant
consultant for 4.5 years in the high end VAX/VMS, Unix and networks market.
Finding work in consulting is *just* like finding employment except you
usually get the luxury of bypassing the bonehead personnel departments.

The criteria that managers use to evaluate your skill set and applicability
to their shop is much like the classic interview except they are looking at
an in-and-out temporary with substantial expertise instead of "full time
permanent" (if there is such a thing anymore). 

> How do you start a business?  

Call the Secretary of State in your state and ask for the forms to file
for a registered company name.  In Ohio it costs $25 to file a company
name and provides you a legal standing to defend that name from others
using that company name.  You may choose to incorporate but that is a
complex decision that should not be entered into unless you have consulted
an accountant and an attorney.  A Subchapter S corporation is the most
popular corporate entity for small businesses due to the lower tax rate
(compared to a fully incorporated entity), smaller reporting requirements
and better measure of protection from lawsuits.  See "piercing the
corporate veil" or a blood sucking attorney for more information on levels
of personal autonomy from coporate wrongdoing.

> How do you get clients?

Damned good question.  This is, and will be your assignment for the
duration of your stint as an independant businessman.  There is no one
answer.  You must call, network and hustle.  Find a dozen good books on
marketing and particularly sales.  Sales will become the modus operandi
of your existance.  Keeping current in your field is left as an
excersise to the reader. 

> What form of advertising works best?

Referals.

> What do I have to do to become legal?

I am not incorporated nor have a filed company name with the State of
Ohio.  Am I legal.  You bet.  Ask my accountant and viperous attorney.

BTW, we had a Copperhead snake land in one of our theee canoes on a most
pleasant canoe trip this Labor Day weekend.  Overhanging branch don't cha
know.  I handled the beastie, since I deal with attorneys the most.  We
mutually parted company, both content that neither prosecuted.

> What is the meaning of life?

Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying
as an income tax refund.

Who works for the state?  I surely don't and probably would not want too
since they haven't had a pay raise in 3 years.  Just a little old grad
student who is paying tuition for the privilege of expressing what is
going on in Arizona.  And with all the high paying jobs in the defense
industry, maybe I can live in Paradise Valley in Charles Keating's
former residence.  

Enjoy Arizona!

Why terminals? PC clones are cheap. Carve out chunks of work for the
team members in such a way as to reduce the required data shareing.
And remember that the bandwidth of a batch of floppies or tapes
in a cross town car can be pretty high. 

Also, the bandwidth of the public communications system is improving.
Used intelligently (sign on once or twice a day to exchange
information)
it can do a good job for you.

.. and, one might add, there's no guarantee your job will still be there  
at the end of it.  One might also add that America's glorious educational  
& environmental President, that mighty supporter of family values, George  
Bush, has consistently vetoed all attempts by Congress to get family leave  
bills passed.  So what if you have a sick child at home? Leave him/her  
alone to take care of him/her self -- that way they'll learn independence  
and self reliance. So what if you have a newborn child?  The need for  
nurture and bonding in the early months of life has to be set off against  
the lost hours of "productivity".  It might be a good idea to invest in  
companies manufacturing psychoactive drugs and others specializing in  
prison design and construction because a few years from now when all these  
unbonded, unsocialized, neglected kids grow up there will be a boom in  
psychiatric intervention and prison construction. So you see, the lack of  
legislation to help families (what was that about family values?) is  
actually good for the economy.  After all, the business of America is  
business.  Its just the people you can forget about.

In general, this means that the company will reimburse you for your educational
expenses for classes taken at the University mentioned.  This could be in the 
form of - you pay for the class and then when you have completed the class, the
company will pay you back or - the company will be billed directly for your
tuition expenses.

You should always check with the company ahead of time about this because
some companies will only reimburse you if you take classes somewhat related
to your career.

Hope this helps...

I agree with Rich.  Also, if werthe #1 employer and called to find out
if you are still interested, and happen to find that you had made a decision.
Then the conversation would end.  If you have made a commitment to another
company and you will break it to work for me then you' do it again.  And
then I have to train someone new.  No thanks.

Organization: Executive Networks Information

My wife and I are beginning a job search in the hope of finding employment 
in SW New York/NW Pennsylvania.  We both like what we're doing now, but 
not where we're doing it.  We're in Yonkers, NY, and crime is rising up 
around us... we want to move west, but not too far west.  I went to high 
school in Warren, PA, and I like the area.  We'd like to live within an 
area roughly 50 mi west, 50 mi north or south, and 200 mi east of there, 
if possible;  we will consider other nearby areas, especially north toward 
Rochester.

I'm currently assistant G.M. at a commercial bakery.  My employment 
history includes programming, running, and supporting a wide range of 
computer software and systems, and supporting users of those systems with 
a wide range of experience.

I have experience with a wide variety of administrative tasks;  currently 
they include handling personnel matters, supervising our bookkeeper, and 
interfacing with our accountant.  My administrative duties have included 
documenting and revising operating procedures, writing our employee 
handbook, and preparing up to 450-page grant reports.

My previous life was as a sound recording engineer.

I'd prefer to work in an educational institution or an established 
not-for-profit or entrepeneurial for-profit organization with a socially 
responsible mission statement, but I'll consider all options.

My wife is currently a Jr. Accountant working in Accounts Receivable and 
General Ledger.  She also has experience working in Accounts Payable, 
Payroll, and the credit card division of a bank.

She'd also prefer a position in a educational institution (she currently 
works for a private college), but she, too, is flexible.

We both are enrolled at present in an undergraduate studies program at the 
college where she works -- the opportunity to continue to pursue our 
studies is important to both of us in any choices we might make.

If you are interested in what we have to offer, please contact us via 
email at tbetz#execnet.com or at tbetz@upaya.panix.com.
