THE JOURNEY OF GETTING A FREELANCE JOB

Freelancing

Many might have come across the word 'FREELANCING' but not really have the time to research what it really entails. FREELANCING is a term that refers to works that are normally done remotely where the client and the service provider are at distinct locations and the work is being done at a person's own pace. This can sound a little bit weird or unfamiliar but the truth is that has come a long way to stay and it continues to grow larger every day.

In further deliberations, many people are now working full-time or part-time providing services to whoever requests some and after which the freelancers are given their due. Freelancing features a wide range of services like writing or freelance writing, illustration, animation, photography, web designing, programming, transcription, document editing, bookkeeping, and language translation among many others. I believe some of these terms should be explained a little to help you the reader get acquainted with them. You can check out how illustration is done here.

Freelance writing - A whole lot of people sometimes have ideas to present to the public or products to talk about but they might not have the time or convenience to do it. Expert writers can offer their help to people who demand it and it is mostly done online. It offers a lot of conveniences and you get to attain a lot of experiences too that will surely impact your future tomorrow.

Translation - Foreigners in some countries may have articles, documents, manuscripts, and publications they would want to be translated into a particular language and so they require the services of translators. Some of these published opportunities are French - English translation, English - Ewe or Twi, and many different ones. Interestingly, some clients can demand or be looking out for translators with not less than 5 years of working experience and this is what can make it look difficult at times. The only key that can actually convince clients to offer you jobs is your ability to describe your skills and experiences well for the client to know of your competence.

Document editing - A skill such as being able to work with Microsoft Word, and Libre Office can land you a job if you have a very good typing speed and experiential knowledge of the tools of word processing software.

Now, imagine how hard it is now to get a job worldwide, getting it online does not come easy but countless efforts and steadfast attempts can aid you to land one soon. I watched a television broadcast in which some reputable freelancing sites were mentioned and so I took the risk and signed up for many. Some were for typing and transcription but the only thing that made it impossible for me to proceed with them was the payment method which I do not have. You know what? I didn't give up but rather tried another which aided me to get a freelance writing job.

After submitting many job proposals, a client contacted me for a freelance writing job and the offer was immediately accepted as a long-awaited dream started manifesting. This work was actually writing a vivid description of automobiles and these write-ups were to be published in an online magazine. The research was conducted and the client was responsive and also offered detailed instructions the works were finally submitted and reviewed by the client after completion and as they were found to be properly done, due payment was made. It is without a doubt that even as a professional in any field with degrees, success as a job seeker is it online or on the ground can take time, and competition in the job search has also greatly increased and is a major reason why every job seeker must have clearly defined goals.
