Techies Looking For Work? Become An Expert Witness
from the good-hours,-good-pay... dept
With all these tech patent lawsuits making the rounds these days, it's not just the lawyers who are getting filthy rich. There's lucrative work to be found as an expert witness, giving your opinion before a judge and jury -- all paid for by one of the companies involved in the case. I know a few people who have turned being an "expert witness" into a very nice career. Of course, to get the job you actually do have to be an expert in something.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I mean if this guy can be that educated and realize that this wasn't a request for CVs, wow...
*cough* what a dumbass *cough*
Any employers reading this thread should steer clear at this point.

Re: Purushottam Joshi
Yes, ceramics is a serious industry and his PhD is also serious. But I don't feel insecure in saying he's a dumbass when even a cursory examination of the site shows this is not a recruitment center.
The mistake itself was harmless, but it was an indication of any or all of the following: a serious misunderstanding of the english language, a serious lack of common-sense and/or cognitive skills, or a total lack of care about the aim of this site for the purpose of getting his name and credentials out there.
Showing any of those qualities would likely disqualify him from the job he so clumsily seeks...hence the humorous factor and the response.

You have to be "Connected"
I've been an technical expert witness. Again, as in all jobs. there's a very few people who get the big bucks, and many who work for free or nearly so.
