Brookview Financial Three tips for getting a job through a recruiter Three tips for getting a job through a recruiterIn response to a question on the Joel on Software discussion forum: I have obtained just one job in my career through a recruiter. It worked out well for me. This is about what works for me, not the great be-all and end-all of how you can live your life. I happen to hire through recruiters from time to time, so I can also give you some perspective from the client end. Update: Just to clarify, these points are about my personal experience working with recruiters on full-time employment. Double submission ...one staffing company tried to tell me that a second submission would "cancel out" the first and the hiring company would simply reject me as a candidate. This is 100% true.

Camels and Rubber Duckies by Joel Spolsky Wednesday, December 15, 2004 You've just released your latest photo-organizing software. One of the biggest questions you're going to be asking now is, "How much should I charge for my software?" So if you like cotton uniforms you better get this right. The answer is really complicated. Now. Some Economic Theory Imagine, for the moment, that your software costs $199. Let me plot that: This little chart I made means that if you charge $199, 250 people will buy your software. What would happen if you raised the price to $249? Some of the people who might have been willing to pay $199 are going to think $249 is too much, so they'll drop out.
