Is it worth doing a certification?

[cntl1]

The thing is that you won't do that as a contractor unless you are very lucky. You will have a lot more chance doing it as a freelance consultant. Knock up a website with some details on it and then use google adwords to try and target possible customers when they search for answers to problems....

Yes, I should have used the term "free lance consultant". Good suggestion, I had thoughts along these lines. I will keep the forum posted (pun intended) on the progress of my various approaches, hopefully in a sufficiently entertaining fashion.

Just a highlight of things I've done:

• Exposure of production schedule and other relevant data to trusted customers and suppliers via web services (ASP.NET, T-SQL),
• an Electronic Kanban system (ASP.NET, C#, T-SQL). Replaced a manual, paper-and-fax based Kanban. A process which previously took many hours each week to manage was fully automated,
• an Electronic Purchase Orders system (supplier side) (ASP.NET, C#, T-SQL),
• an RMA module (.NET, C#, T-SQL). A custom RMA process tailored specifically for repairs,
• an Engineering Change Note system (.NET, C#, T-SQL). The standard standard ECN system did not fit their requirements. I wrote a custom module that replaced it.
• a Rejects and QA system (.NET, C#, T-SQL) – a module that replaced and simplified WinMan’s standard Rejects system. Introduced automated Quality controls for the goods-inwards process.
• a Free-Issue system (.NET, C#, T-SQL) ,
• Manufacturing Orders “Job Pack” generation and production flow controls,
• product labelling and tracking (C#, T-SQL, Reporting Services)
  
  etc., etc. And I've done BI on top of that, designed new databases, implemented and managed a separate IIS server, and so forth.

So who am I?

I take it I should probably avoid copy pasting things from my CV then to avoid this unsavory tag. In my defense, the poster asked more details about my experience as response to my somewhat unspecific background references. I'd rather it not stick.

Doomed.

I'm not sure Suity MKII is the moniker you are really looking for, still DP has his own strict methods, can't personally guarantee that the damage might not be forever lasting .

Oh bugger. Maybe it will blow over in a few years time. I can live with that for now.
