Super-Easy Outsourcing

Quoted from his article "Global Approach to Resume Writing":
Sending work overseas is as simple as selling antiques on eBay. It's so pervasive that any company and now, anyone can pay a foreign firm for anything from software development to tax preparation.
From this experience, he learned:
1. "Going overseas is a temptation that's hard to resist." We can expect to see more small businesses and sole proprietors outsourcing offshore.
2. "Distance comes with disadvantages." Details can drag things out. Unless the outsourcing supplier has strong work ethics, many issues can arise in no time.
3. "Some analysts say this trend is a win-win for the offshorers and the American economy. Companies say that by assigning work to low-paid foreigners, they can cut costs and attract more customers. As a result, they hire more local workers to compensate for the extra business."
At least, it was a win-win for Seper and that Romanian web designer who said, "Here $100 is a big deal, in the U.S. probably not."
Chris is not an outsourcing apologist but a satisfied customer who wanted to share his experience. There are many satisfied customers out there, but still there are some who aren't.
In this globalized economy in which we can order a $3,000 site for only $300, caveat emptor needs further enforcement.
