# I'm available again

By Roy Osherove January 24, 2004 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published January 24, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

It's that time again. At the end of next week I will be finishing up my work in Norway and will be coming back to Israel. That means I'll be [available for job offers](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/6870.aspx). If you are in Israel or abroad and would like to talk about doing consulting/full time development work at your firm, [contact me](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/6870.aspx). My CV (Hebrew and English) and information on how to contact me is [available on this link](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/6870.aspx). _(my Hebrew CV is a bit dated and does not include the last 2 months in Norway yet, but the English one does)_

_**Update**: In a stroke of pure bad luck, my home server fell due to a power outage, so my personal homepage is not available. Hope it comes back tomorrow. Meanwhile my CV can still be downloaded from [other sources](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/6870.aspx)._

One thing that I did in Norway was to teach a group of developers how to do Test Driven Development, including unit testing, refactoring, pair programming and communication techniques. It was an amazing experience and if you'd like I can do the same for your company. I'll be posting a more elaborate article on the results and the way it was done, but I can tell you people are excited and are more productive and bug free than ever.

OK. Enough with the shameless plug :)
