International consultant
What is an “international consultant?” Someone willing to travel to help clients in any country? If that’s the case, I’ve been an international consultant since I got my passport shortly after opening my consulting practice, just in case. But that doesn’t seem sufficient for the title “international consultant.” How about having clients in at least eight countries? But I hadn’t actually left home to do what I do for them, so that didn’t seem like good enough either.
Perhaps tonight I’m a real international consultant. I’m sitting in a hotel not far from Toronto, Canada, where I’m teaching a course. So though I’m barely across the US-Canada border, I’ve finally used my passport for something other than a pleasure trip. Sorry to dispel the image if you thought I was already a globe trotting road warrior. :-)
It doesn’t matter to me what you call me, as long as people keep calling me with interesting software testing challenges I can help with.
