Re: Freelance Work

depending on what type of work you do I'd suggest the following:

1 - http://www.ifreelance.com/

2 - consider placing your name with temp agencies. They will call you when there is a fit.

3 - send your resume with a cover note to local companies. Speaking as someone who hires freelancers often I will say it's hard to find good talent but when I do I prefer a freelancer. It's more affordable and they are more committed to continuing the relationship. I have found freelancers through references and solid letters with resumes... there letter would be specific to how they think they can help me.

Re: Freelance Work

There is a company in California that is very reputable. Try them and see if it's a fit.

The company is High Tech Connect -- http://www.htconnect.com/Home.html

Otherwise, reach out to local business with a cover note and resume explaining how you can help. Just ensure you do some homework and get your info in the right hands.
