Frequently Asked Questions |
If you have any question that I have not answered here then please mail me and I will answer it personally.
Could you send me an updated copy of your CV ?
Please mail me for a Word copy of my CV. You can look at my CV page for my whole contract career on one page.
Can you supply two references ?
I can supply references when a job offer is made. You can look at my LinkedIn page for three recommendations.
As a rule, no. But ask the question in an email and I might be persuaded.
Do you work direct or through a recruitment agency ?
I do both. When I work direct I would expect a purchase order from you and would then work to my terms and conditions.
When are you available for contract work ?
Not at the moment. Mail me for up to date information

How long is a piece of string !

I will consider anything legal and non fattening !
However, customers will be looking for a fit to their required skills. Over the last few years I have worked as a programmer analyst which involves some program specification, some programming and some testing. During my career I have worked as Project Leader, Business Analyst, on HelpDesks, as a Systems Manager and Consultant. The market will decide!
Would you consider a permanent position ?

Where are you willing to work ?
The Midlands ie Birmingham, Nottingham and online via yell.com
Microsoft Access, VB.NET and ASP.NET Microsoft Excel, SQL Server.
What other skills do you have ?
I could do Powerhouse on any platform. I could probably do COBOL on any platform, I have done COBOL on VMS and Data General AOS/VS. I have done BASIC, FORTRAN and Pascal on VMS and about 15 other flavours of BASIC at the last count including VB.NET. I am qualified as a Microsoft Certified Professional on Windows 95 and 98 and on SQL Server 2000 and have MCAD in VB.NET. I prefer to work in a team.
Do you know anybody with your skills who is available ?
Mail me and I will answer directly. When I first heard this question I always thought it was a strange question to ask. As a contractor you move from one place to another and can not generally keep in touch with people you work with from one job to another. The only people fitting the bill are the people I am currently work with. Often I am the only one with my skills where I work. From an agency point of view it is definitely worth asking the question though. I have once or twice passed on leads to people who got the job eventually.
Do you have any examples of your work ?
I don't really go in for flashy software, to me the best software is easily understood and simple even if it may be long winded.
