hehe. I agree Roy. But for those of you who may be interested but have read my email and thought this may involve not sleeping or eating for the next few weeks (!), I think they're hoping to get at least a framework of a manual in place by the go-live date, rather than the entire documentation, with a view to an in-depth manual and user guide being completed over the next few weeks by the same individual. The system is not overly complex but is an interesting one, and they will also be looking for some guidance from the person coming on board regarding timescales to completion of documentation etc. Cheers Anna -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Roy Taylor Sent: Tuesday, 28 October 2003 3:19 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: Short-term contract in Canberra Hi Anna, I'm not interested personally, but I can't help thinking that your = client might be a little unrealistic expecting to get proper = documentation completed for a system going live in two weeks!!

The system is currently in testing phase and = =3D =3D3D =3D3D3D they require someone to begin drawing up this documentation while the system = =3D =3D3D =3D3D3D is in the final build stage. If possible, a Monday start would be ideal and the rate is not yet determined. It will be dependent on skill level and based on "market rates" - I am happy to have a confidential discussion with any =3D3D3D interested parties regarding current market rates. As this is not a long term =3D =3D3D3D contract (at least as it currently stands) the rate will, of course, also reflect that. As with the rate, the length of contract is also not fixed - "go live" = =3D =3D3D =3D3D3D is mid-November but there will be work beyond that so at this stage, it =3D =3D3D3D looks to be at least one month. This role is based in Canberra. Anybody who is interested in this should contact me asap please. I look forward to hearing from you Regards Anna ----------------------------------------------------- Anna Windebank General Manager, VIC Branch Pegasus Consulting Tel: +61 3 9649 7177 Fax: +61 3 9649 7011 anna.windebank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ Level 11, 470 Collins St, Melbourne, VIC, 3000 www.pegasus-it.com.au www.pegasus-financial.com.au > This information is supplied subject to Pegasus Consulting's standard terms and conditions.
