Freelance Networking

// April 17th, 2009 // Jobs, Networking, Rants

We hear a lot these days about the economy and how hard it is to find a job. School is almost over and I’m sure you want to have a job in the creative insdustry as soon as possible. If you have a solid portfolio, are eager to continue learning new things that will make you more valuable to someone, and have some basic people skills then it’s all good! Anything you might want to know about life as a freelancer can probably be found at Freelance Switch. Everything from news and advice on the blog, a job board, a podcast, a book and recourses! One artice I was impressed with lately is The Monster List of Freelance Job Sites.

With a quick Google search I found another site with some prospective places to find jobs. This is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to jobs out there. The people you know in your social network are the greatest way to find jobs. Take Twitter for example. I recently found a post from Sonata Creative about Using Twitter to Find Work. It’s simple but is crazy enough that it might just work. Twitter name is crbarnett, follow me… you might learn something! Just ask Steven Lenhart or Diana Judge.
