Progress DBA Contract, Offsite Option

Here's an opportunity for someone who's set up to telecommute. The contract would be 6 to 8 weeks worth of DBA work for a client in Cleveland, OH. But telecommuting would work for the right individual.

As always, I hesitate to even say the word "telecommute" because I know I'll be flooded with resumes from people with a late-nineties model PC and a 56K modem or with no PC at all. You must be a serious professional consultant. That means you must have your own equipment; access to at least 2 PCs, preferably notebooks, running at least Win 2000 Pro and up-to-date virus protection with a high-speed internet connection behind a hardware firewall (router). Downtime is not an option. Acts of God will be considered as a legitimate excuse -- I hope that clarifies the seriousness of 99.99% uptime.

The rate would be $50-65/hour DOE. This is a stop gap position with a lot of opportunities to be a hero and it could easily turn into more for someone who is really serious. You need to be willing to work extra hours and get down and dirty with data. If you are a prima donna who doesn't want to wear a cell phone then please look elsewhere.
