Re: Am I Off the Wall?????

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I obviously can't speak for every manager who has ever had a posting for a 
contractor, but having looked at a few of these online freelance matching sites 
during my own past forays into hiring myself out, I long ago concluded that most 
of them exist to match low paying, low quality work opportunities to candidates 
whose capabilities and value are suited to them.  I wouldn't want to associate 
myself with most of them as either a client or a contractor.

OTOH, if we don't discuss them here at least once in a while, list members who 
are a bit isolated from the tech employment centers may not have any way of 
knowing about them except for unpleasant experiences.
