>Keep smiling, not everyone is out ta get ya!=20=20=20=20 Nonetheless, it is still impossible to quote a pages per day rate without assessing the environment for which you are developing those pages. My rate can vary from 1 to 16 depending upon degree of difficulty and quality expectations. Perhaps someone who is applying for work in Melbourne will apply and let us know what happens. It doesn't hurt to stay informed. There is an ad in Canberra at the moment asking for an e-learning developer. The third requirement is: 3. Provision of an eLearning tool that has an inbuilt tool to track learning administration and can interface with Aurion and meet IT infrastructure requirements=20 How can anyone provide this tool without first knowing the infrastructure and other variables? And how many training developers are software vendors? Realistically they need to be asking for someone with 'the skills to find' an appropriate eLearning tool.... I would be interested to know if these people get inundated by the wrong type of applicants too. ck -----Original Message----- From: joe_zolin@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:joe_zolin@xxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 9:45 AM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: New Pay Scales for TWs? I thought they were asking how many pages a day you could produce, not the expected charge rate per page. Direct quote from ad: "please quote an approximate pages-per-day rate" Still vague, though, but I've got a feeling that bja migyht be jumping the gun a bit here. Also, consider the reasons for not stating company name... If the company actually said who they were, there would be flock (or should I say murder..) of agencies descending upon them trying to get the listing and subsequant placement fee for their own. =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20 =20=20=20 =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20 =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20 =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20 Joe Zolin Technical Communicator/Tech Comms MYOB E-mail: JOE.ZOLIN@xxxxxxxxxxx Phone (work): (03) 9222 9992 Ext. 7429 ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
