	Jobs in Consulting
		In the words of Geoffrey M. Bellman: "...consultants are people who, when asked, agree to use their expertise to help clients narrow the gap between they now have and what they think they want or need.
		Successful consultants are made by clients seeking their help." Consulting is done in a wide variety of contexts by some of the most prestigious firms in the world and by a whole bunch of other entities including lots of people working in their basement with a telephone and fax machine.
		Consulting is the business of providing advice to firms in trouble; firms on the move and firms which are trying to do what they do better, faster, and more cheaply.
