One of the ways in
which the current technology revolution can be
harnessed is through the outsourcing of tasks
to a distributed or "zero-gravity"
workforce - one that can work from
anywhere. In this context, individuals
don't waste time getting to and from a
"place of work" and the employer of
such resources pays just for the time spent
doing his or her work - coffee breaks and
social chatter are excluded! Finally,
the commitment of employing someone together
with associated red-tape is avoided and, if
the quality of the delivery falls, the
relationship can easily be terminated.
It is therefore in this way that I intend to
offer my services.
The following
listing provides an extensive but by no means
exhaustive list of the the ways in which I
might be able to help. The list is
categorised for convenience.
