The Computer Consultant's Workbook

Rating:
Summary: VERY Solid Advice that will pay for itself many times over..
Review: Having dabbled in consulting I knew some of the basics, but this will help me polish out any rough spots. If you are thinkng of becoming an independant or just started out by all means get this book! Just started reading two other books by Janet and I'm sure I'll like those as well. Also, stop by the messsage board on her web site to share your experiences.... No- I do not know her nor am I compensated by her. Just a solid book and thought I'd share.

Summary: An invaluable book for a newbie consultant.
Review: I read from front to cover the Computer Consultant's Workbook. For a person who is interested in consulting, and has no knowledge at all about consulting, this is the book for you. After you read this book I would also recommend that you read her second book as well because both books together offer invaluable tips as you embark on your career as a consultant.

Summary: Outstanding book for would-be consultants
Review: I wish this book had been available when I was getting started as a consultant; it would have saved me a lot of the time and trouble of learning the ropes. The book is well organized and full of great tips, useful advice, and excellent discussions of the issues involved in being a successful consultant. It was clearly written (and written clearly) by somebody who has obviously "been there and done that." As I read through it, I kept saying to myself, "yeah, that's so true, and that's true too, and I wish I'd known that before discovering it the hard way, and . . . ."

If you've ever entertained idle thoughts about consulting in the computer industry, I strongly encourage you to get this book. It does a great job of presenting both the pros and cons of consulting and includes the essential information you need to succeed if you decide to make a go of it.
