| 873864 | 2010-04-07 23:16:00 | Wainuitech: also this is the reason why the NZCS has to bring in this new ITCP qualification with code of ethics and about how to be a nice person and not steal from the customer. Its sad but theres always some one who will be the cowboy. If only you could run them out of town! " As a professional body, members of NZCS abide by the NZCS Code of Ethics as well as complete CPD - Continual Professional Development (continual education)." etc etc ANOTHER qualification to pay for?! Already have one Dip in It, getting another(open poly proper one)then need an industry cert,ccna,mcse,redhat.... |

Word of mouth is a powerful thing, both good and bad reps. Interesting that subject is brought up - I know many Techs that have no Quals at all, yet I would hire them if I could in a flash - their skill levels are great. BAD service: Just had a call this morning - a person who called me about 6 months ago and asked for pricing on a job - she didn't like it so she said she would look else where. I quoted $200 max excluding if any hardware was faulty. Rang back today - the person she got - so far had the PC back to the company 3 times in 6 months with the same problem, was charged between $250 -$350 each time - wouldn't tell them what was done apart from to say they would never have the problem again, and to quote her was very rude and abrupt. Going to her place on Monday. Currently fighting these viruses on teh PC's as mentioned earlier -- finding loads as well on the second scans, now that it boots into windows. BTW-- there is a way to clean these without having to slave - you do need a certain CD though (legal) if any one wants the "easier way" let me know and I'll post it. |

And she went back again twice, and coughed up around $900 into the bargain? The mind boggles.... I think you will have a friend/customer for life there though! Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |
