Sign up ASAP as there will be no late additions! Juan\u00a0looks forward to meeting all of the SQL Experts in Chicagoland next week. Here\u2019s more information: \"Chicago Topic:<\/strong> Wish you Could Live the Glamorous Computer Consulting Life?<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Thursday, September 11th, 2014 at 5:30 PM (You must RSVP<\/a> by 4:00 PM, the Tuesday prior to the meeting to attend)<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> Microsoft Technology Center, 200 East Randolph Drive, Suite 200 Chicago, IL 60601 <\/a><\/p>\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Juan Soto, Microsoft Access Most Valuable Professional (MVP)<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Consulting is a great career choice, from the increased pay, (sometimes less), to the flexible hours, (working nights and weekends), you will work with a wide range of customers, (if you can find them), that will lead you to wonder why you didn’t start earlier? (and walk away from a cushy job). All kidding aside, I would not trade my consulting career for any other choice, I love the rewards and the freedom it provides me, but I’ve learned the hard way. In this session you will learn sales, marketing and management strategies to get your practice off the ground, sand traps to avoid along the way and an honest, down to earth assessment of the consulting life. An essential session for those thinking about this choice and\/or those who are just starting out. You can see a preview at: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1bLUZAE<\/p>\n
