    Thanks again guys. My aim is to work with the company / firm that is willing to hire me. I a not interested in being a closed entity. I put a lot of effort into my work and most always receive compliments on my work. I always make certain to be a team player and work with the individuals on...

    Freelance HVAC Engineer

    Thanks for your help. It sure seems difficult to even get people to consider you. I had one firm interested, but as soon as they knew I was not going to work in their office the negotiations ended.

    Freelance HVAC Engineer

    Thanks for your help guys! I will look at and take on your suggestions/comments. I was also wondering if a website (a good quality one) would help? At the moment I am just sending out e-mails with my resume. I do have several references already and could send out some examples of my work too...

    Freelance HVAC Engineer

    I forgot to add that I am have been marketing myself all around the Country as well as a few overseas places with the intent to work out of my own office. I think this seems to put people off for some reason. Not sure why as I have completed designs quite adequately without ever having set foot...

    Freelance HVAC Engineer

    Hi, I am keen to market myself to MEP Firms as a Freelance HVAC Engineer. So far, I have just e-mailed out my resume and a cover note.

    Are there any good AutoCad Lisp Programmers?

    I have a couple of HVAC lisp programs. They are awesome, but I need to modify them in order to have the lisp create to our standards. Are there any good lisp programmers that could have a look at the lisp I have and help me modify it? I am not very skilled at lisp and really need some help...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    Here is the update... I told my Supervisor (who is taking over the business with 3 others) on Monday. It was a somber meeting. He was quite sad about it, but took it well. I told him I was devastated and it was in no way my choice to go. I actually laid it all out there and for most of the...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    Thanks for the well wishes. I am going to tell them. Either Monday or Tuesday. I have no intention of leaving them before January 23rd. I am even open to flying back here if they need me to. I am really going to leave a lot of it up to them and will do whatever I can to help them. They are...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    I may not have indicated this, but the Firm I work for is a small Firm with no branch offices. It is just a small group here and we all get along very well... I was wondering... Is there a way to put to them that I will need to work remotely as a result of my family needing to return to...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    Thanks guys... I guess I just feel bad. They have thought all along that everything is going fine. Now all of a sudden I am resigning. Granted, things only really came to a crunch 3-4 weeks ago on the home front. Until then I thought there was hope and negotiation. The office is in a huge panic...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    I am sitting here at the end of my lunch break trying to get ready for the news I am going to break to my Supervisor. I plan to do this either Thursday or Friday this week. Before I do, does this sound like the best time? This is a very hard thing to do and it is going to take a lot to psych...

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    Hokie66; Ah, Brissie (Brisbane)... That is my old home town. As of this time, we have tried the USA thing twice and it has just not worked for my wife. International moving can really take it out of you, so I am glad it worked well for you. Thanks,

    Having to resign - as much as I don't want to

    Ok, I think I am going to break the news to the Firm this week. My wife leaves soon, house is mostly all packed up and I just feel like I am being dishonest and ripping them off. I am not totally sure that my timing is right, but at the end of the day I want to be ethical and upfront with the...
