Fees
These are by the project. They are not by the hour, so that you don't have to worry about the clock ticking, and so that you get everything you need from your work with Joanne. These are quoted on a custom basis. Take a look at the Quick Consult with the Queen as a first step.
Thank you, Joanne, for teaching me that I have to show not only what I've done, but its impact, too. An engineer like me needs to do more than just list skills and tools -- I needed to communicate my successes, and now I do. No one can say "So what" to my resume now.
