A question about this thread - has anyone had success in finding a position here?

Yep. Made a good friend, too.

Plus even if nobody ever got a job directly from this thread, it's still yet another networking tool.

Google indexes this thread continually so the more info you list the more that is searchable. And who knows what that may ultimately lead?

There really is no downside to posting your info here that I can see.

Seeking Product Consultants for Professional Services
 

Demand is currently greater than the supply for the Product Consulting group I am a part of at my company. Below is a high-level list of things to consider for the position:

• 100% US travel with some Canadian travel
• Have credit card(s) which you can use to book travel

• Technically savvy
• Training experience
• You must be extremely flexible
• You must be able to adapt to be a jack-of-all-trades (consulting for various software products, installing server software and troubleshooting, and software training are all part of the position)

PM or email me if you are interested, I will send you the full job posting and we can go from there.

I'm sorry, but this
is a flag for anyone considering employment. That a company is requiring their employees to front their own expenses, at the same time expecting 100% travel, is wrong IMO. I know we like to use our affinity cards, etc, but an outright requirement that the employee has credit to extend for purposes of the company is just off.

Having recently being through the process of hiring, I would like to say that someone who mentions "current travel is about 25%, looking for something closer to 50% - 75% or more." as "what you are looking for" Would be a red flag for most. You should look for a challenge, a position etc. and IF travel is require then you are OK with it.
Just a tought. Good luck wiht the search.

Yes it does present a problem for someone who doesn't have credit cards or extra credit to extend for travel. I didn't say it was a requirement though. Keep in mind that what I wrote are guidelines. (Trying to keep it real for the Flyertalkers.) I'm sure something could be worked out if needed but it may be an extra hassle in adjusting to the job. I thought a lot of consulting companies had their employees front their own expenses (even with company-issued credit cards) but I guess it's a smaller number than I thought.
