"The handouts are full of information I can use. Thank you." -- Sara

"So MUCH info! Give and take dialog with class was great." -- Jennifer

"Excellent workshop! THANK YOU!" -- Martin

"Yes, worth $125! Key element is understanding & demistifying the billing 'game' and system." -- Karen

"I learned that contracting is not a sign of being undesirable as a permanent employee. The workshop offered options to succeeding by using my wit & talents, and not in using/abusing others. I particularly liked the job search skills discussion." -- Terri

"This workshop opened my mind to the realities of the working world as it is today. For that I am very grateful. James is a great presenter. The information is very good, but he also brings his own humanity to the room. It makes the whole day go by pleasantly." -- Maria.

"Definitely worth $125 -- perhaps priced too low. I especially liked the 'real world' basis of the information." -- Carl
