Vec dugo vremena sam bio zainteresovan za konsulting poslove software inzinjera za koje treba putovati od ponedeljka do cetvrtka, i petkom se radi od kuce.
Sutra putujem u Toronto (iako je kompanija iz USA) da se nadjem sa dva menadzera, i tu ce mi objasniti sve detalje, a najverovatnije i dati konkretnu ponudu.
Svrha ovog puta je da i ja budem siguran da je ovaj novi posao nesto sto mi se svidja i da cu biti veoma zadovoljan pozicijom (tj. da necu biti razocaran i naci nesto novo nakon par meseci).
Pravim listu pitanja koja cu pitati oba menadzera i evo te liste (vecinu sam nasao na internetu). Svaki savet je dobro dosao! Narocito me zanimaju pitanja u vezi putovanja.
