[SVLUG-Jobs] entrepreneurs - contractors

[Alvin Oga]

hi contractors and other crazies

we have some itty-bitty tasks that needs to be filled asap

some of the projects are a month past due, so we're sorta in a bind

if you're looking for 8-5 job, this stuff below is NOT for you

if working 8-16hrs doesn't scare you when the customer is happy
about getting their deliveries on time, than we should talk

	- deliverables must work ... according to "me" and i'll go
	and argue that "it works" with the contract source

please provide a "formal bid" with terms/conditions of the tasks at hand ..

pay rates ... how do you want and why ??

	$ 10/hr - $200/hr is not unreasonable depending on you
	and the tasks and hours 

c ya
