BECOME A CONSULTANT

A consultant provides technical or professional services to a client for a fee. As a consultant, you are free to work as much or as little as you wish. You work on a per-project basis, removed from the daily stress of a regular job. Meanwhile, you are able to continue using your skills. This makes consulting very appealing to retirees. 

Many consultants get started by working for their former employer. They then expand their practice by adding other companies in their field—often companies that are suppliers or clients of their former employer. This is a logical extension of their background and an excellent way to use their experience. 

If you are seriously considering consulting, make sure your capabilities are compatible with the requirements of the job. In addition to a marketable technical or professional skill, you need to be comfortable approaching people and selling yourself and your ideas. Not everyone is cut out to be a consultant. It requires a motivated self starter who is comfortable working alone.

Morals One ethics-related moral extractable from this case is that an engineering expert who is invited to become a consultant-member of a committee of experts that provides advice to a firm or an organization with a project it wants to push should be extremely careful before agreeing to enter into such a relationship, however lucrative or prestigious. Why Because if s/he enters into...

Alvin Joseph Peterka graduated from Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland OH, in 1934, and added graduate vv ork at the Universities of Tennessee and Colorado. From 1936 to 1946 he was in the staff of the Tennessee Valley Authority TVA, then joining the US Bureau of Reclamation USER, Denver CO, eventually heading the Special Investigations Section of the USER Hydraulic Laboratory. Peterka retired from this activity in 1968 to become a consultant.

Our problem was simple We had run out of money. As the technical manager, I was faced with a choice. I could become unemployed, or I could become a consultant. I easily concluded that the latter choice would come across smoother when I told my mother about the latest development in my career.

Throughout the life of the toll, it is important to maintain the communications emphasized in earlier chapters. The client often has process or product specific expertise. This places them in the position of a consultant to the toller on issues regarding the specific product or process. For tollers with specialized skills, the role of consultant may be reversed. Tips for becoming a successful internal tolling consultant follow ... 

In 1837 Janies married Susan Hunter, the daughter of a Saint Andrews Professor they had no children. James left Dundee in 1845 to become a successful consulting engineer in Edinburgh, where he died at the age of seventy-five. In 1819 Robert had married Jane Rankine, the daughter of a Kilmarnock merchant. They had two daughters and five sons. Robert had moved to the parish of Galston in 1823, and he... 

In 1957, Townes developed the equation that showed that this same process could also obtain much smaller wavelengths (in the infrared and visible light range). Townes collaborated with Aithur Schawlow, a research assistant in his laboratoiy from 1949 to 1951, who then moved on to become a physicist at Bell Labs where Townes was still doing consulting work. Wlien he was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia, Schawlow met Aurelia, Townes younger sister, who had come there to study singing. Soon the two married.

In 1990, Bob set up a mass spectrometry consultancy which he ran until becoming a Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry within the Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences at the University of Huddersfield. 

Case C, the titration of a weak acid with a weak base and vice versa, has in fact already been illustrated in Fig. 2.18 by the curves BB and B B are fully valid and for characteristic (3) the initial point is still dependent on the original concentration c however for the further main part of the curve we see a clean symmetry versus the equivalence point, which has become a true inflection point, independent of the concentration and simply determined by the mean value of pKg and pKb, i.e., (p/ia + pKh)/2 or (pifa + pifw - pKa.)/2. It also means that in the simultaneous titration of a polyvalent acid or a series of weak acids of different strength with a strong base and vice versa, (1) the stronger the acid the earlier it is titrated within the series, (2) the initial point and the final end-point of the series are still influenced by the concentration, but (3) the intermediate steps are only determined at the pH of the inflection point by the mean value of the pifas of the subsequent acids and in its steepness by the difference between these pKgs. Therefore, consultation of pKa tables provides the most suitable way of predicting the results of such simultaneous titrations.

In 1928, Speed became a consultant to the DuPont Experimental Station due to the nudging of Roger Adams. Chemistry was on the rise with the invention of the first SR (neoprene) and first truly synthetic fiber (nylon) both discovered by Carothers. The plastics industry developed rapidly with chemistry truly becoming an industrial giant, mainly on the back of giant molecules. 

THF is used as solvent for this reaction (Scheme 156). Indeed, THF is the solvent of choice for the alkylation of N- oxides by Grignard reagents. The following references (B-71MI20500, 74HC(14-S2)i) should be consulted for a more comprehensive coverage of these reactions. Reactions of the above type with organolithium compounds are less successful as metallation becomes a major pathway (vide infra). 

The book also deals with issues that face someone becoming a manager for the first time. Professional people - hospital consultants, engineers, head teachers, caterers, social workers - in talking about their prospective role as a manager have highlighted a number of apprehensions. 

Her disease could be treated because it was natural, but she would become a difficult patient, and Forman would later add a note about unnatural melancholy as a partial cause of her disease. The next month she consulted Forman again, having consumed too much sturgeon and Rhenish wine, and asked whether she was pregnant. Forman and Allen became friends and Forman recorded information that she conveyed outside of consultations. For instance, he noted that he had dined with her and promised her that she would soon be with child, then her husband returned home and coked her. ... 

FT-IR has almost become a ubiquitous technique in physical and analytical chemistry and a number of sources can be consulted for details 3,4 5,S). This review will only consider those applications related to polymer systems. A number of prior reviews of the applications of FT-IR have been written The relevant theory of vibrational spectroscopy of polymers will not be covered here as it has been treated in detail in a recent monograph15). An excellent discussion of the experimental aspects of the spectroscopy of polymers is also recommended 16).
