- learc83 8y agoWhen you're a consultant no one really expects you to provide a resume with a complete accounting of what you've been doing. It's more of, I worked for clients x,y, and z on projects a, b, and c. Here are the results I got for them.

- ahelwer 8y agoWhen I say extremely niche, I mean extremely niche. Not the sort of thing you get by cold-calling some corporate entity. Maybe you become involved and well-known in an obscure technical field at the margins of economic feasibility. Eventually you run into someone who holds the purse strings at some organization who is interested in that field. You work together a bit, and eventually ask whether they'd want to pay you for a one-off trial project using the technology. Stuff like that.
