Web Master ?/?

I sure hope you get the help you need. I gave up. They say they can do things but most do not have a clue. And to top it off they either don't show up for work or are really late. They never call either way. I have allot of work that needs to be done and I am heading for the Philippines to hire a few people who are serious about working and who have some credibility. Good luck with your job hunt here in Colombia.

There is a company called IndexCol in Bogota that does good work. My brother has used them for two projects and has had good results. They also do a lot of work for various multinationals. They are not as cheap as an independent web developer, but they are still a lot cheaper than a company in the US and they know what they are doing.

Hey Lost Gringo,

I know there is a lot of mediocre people out there, but everything is a matter of being careful. If you interview somebody, most likely that person will tell you that he/she can do everything imaginable. Easy then, besides the interview sit them in front of the computer for an hour and make them do something that usually you see people cannot do. On the other hand, why not give the opportunity to somebody who is starting? I have met lots (and I mean lots) of people with years of experience and a huge CV who are completely worthless and university students who are just brilliant.
Waterdawg, why dont you post an add in www.computrabajo.com.co or in www.elempleo.com? And write it in english (a good engineer or student should know some english anyway).
Good Luck

Serious Jo I have no doubt that anything is possible in Colombia. I just not to go through the hassle anymore. I know where I can good internet savvy help and people who want to work. A job pool of English speaking people and for a reasonable salary. I had one fellow that was supposed to do some work on my g/f's computer in Bogotá. He was in Bogotá and never called her. He returned to Medellin and never called me either. A few weeks later a neighbor called me and asked if I wanted him to come to my apartment and do some work. Bloody hell, the nerve of some people. Like I say good luck.

If that is the case then you might want to just set up a store with Yahoo Stores or GoDaddy. They have simple, do it yourself stores that work well for small businesses.

Waterdawg-the Yahoo Store someone suggested is a great idea and you may want to consider an eShop on Mercadolibre.com as well as on eBay.com. (in the usa or europe)Not sure of the Mercdolibre.com eShop's Monthly Price, on eBay here, its $15.95 monhly. I'm almost sure on Colombia's Mercadolibre its much cheaper.Check it out.
Also-Try putting some of your stuff on Craigslist.com-I've had good luck selling stuff on CL here in Miami.

The Yahoo Store idea is a good one, I have used it to set-up a store before and it is very easy to do and has great features to help you manage it.
