hey there

There's alot of information on the net about grant writing, but specific courses i'm not sure about.

I used to do a bit of contracting and procurement work - like your tender responses etc - and i did a Cert IV Government Procurement. If you don't already having something like that under your belt, that might be another option to look for as well. I know that kind of work is well paid and sought after in government - both temp/contract and permament work.

Otherwise, in grant writing - I was looking into it a while ago myself for community legal centre establishment and found alot of books and reference materials on grant and proposal writing etc. Although not a piece of paper you can brag about on your resume, some interesting and helpful material nonetheless :-)

Hope this helps :-) Good luck!

I'm not fussed on type of organisation, so long as it's not Big Tobacco, Nestle or the Japanese Whaling commission. I've worked in not-for-profits, multinationals and small firms. I figure it's probably not too dissimilar to tender responses and I've done thousands of those.

Ideally, I'd like a gig that pays me $lots an hour for work I can do mostly from home, either working 3-6 week stretches or 2-3 days a week. I can do the working in an office thingy, but I'm not interested in office politics, so I'd prefer to consult/contact. I just want a job I can use my brain on that doesnt require me to sell my soul for the shareholders.

Pearshaker - funny you should mention the Cert IV in Government Procurement. My last job in a big firm was as a procurement consultant. I've never worked in procurement in my life, but there I was, process modelling the procurement functions of major organisations.... I used to work more on the sales side of things but DH is a procurement trainer/consultant, so it's been interesting seeing the other side.
