Freelancing Now - From the archives
I am a bit under the weather this week as I am fighting off my annual bout with bronchitis. Rather than subject you to my croaking voice, here is a show from the "early days" of podcasting in 2004. The audio quality is a bit rough, but the content is still as valid today as it was then.
Many new listeners have joined Career Opportunities since I first began creating the podcast, so I imagine that this show might be new to many of you.
Freelancing Now - from the archives
September 5, 2003
In the old days, a newly minted high-techworker had a clearly defined road to follow for their career.They would take an entry-level job at some large corporation, do all the menial labor they could stand and either get promoted or take whatever they learned to some other company. Repeat this as necessary, until the person found a niche where they could settle in for the long haul. In today’s workplace, though, I would like to offer an alternative. One that I think might better serve the high-tech careerist and the people for whom they work. Wouldn’t it be better to try out other avenues if employment and other career paths before locking yourself into something that may not serve you well? I have come to believe that starting everyone off in a typical corporate job may do more damage than good. [Continued]Listen

Hello and congrats for having such a well organized blog. I’ve been working as a freelancer for a few years now, and I gradually eliminated the flaws and mistakes any newbie freelancer makes. Here are some of my thoughts: there are plenty of freelancing websites that offer free subscription, so you can try your luck with one of those. Of course, if you want to have less competition and access to better paid projects, try a subscription paid web site. You can then select the categories where you believe you are skilled in. Ranging from coding, beta-testing, graphic and web design and going to translations, content writing and data base management, you will definitely find a freelance category that will go well with your skills.
I also wanted to put together a free guide for beginners in the online freelancing world – you can check it out by reading my guide on the pros and cons of online freelancing I’d be happy to receive suggestions as to how to improve my guide and informative articles.
Thanks,
