Re: Contracting in Denver.
I've been contracting in Calgary for eight years now. My main source of work
is through people I used to work with in engineering consulting fifteen
years ago.
There are couple of outsourcing firms that seem to have a grip on TW
contracting in Calgary. I'm very leery of dealing with such companies. Once
I very foolishly listed the companies I did work for and the people who I
dealt with when applying for a posted job. Every company and person I listed
got a call from outsourcing company X's sales staff within a couple of days.
Fortunately my clients had more principles, but my marketing skills sure got
a workout. :)
I've heard similar stories from time to time.
I'm interested in hearing of similar experiences?
