Freelance

In some industries, freelance work is a large part of the job market. What are some good ways to find freelance opportunities?

Kandice ,

I've also heard that Indeed is a good site; I've not heard of Mandy.com before but will be sure to check it out!

In addition to Craigslist and Linkedin, Iv'e seen many of our graduates find freelance job leads through Mandy.com and Indeed.com. It is also important for them to have an online portfolio where they can send potential employers to, to view their work.

May,

This is good advice..a professional website and all these other social media outlets are ideal for freelancers-particularly in the media arena.

We are media school, and freelance work is the norm. I get freelance opportunities come in for the students often. I have also advised them to create a webpage, and to market themselves through social media avenues, as linkedin, Twitter and Facebook.

Josephine,

I never heard of that site-thanks for the tip!

Elizabeth Kemler

There are a ton of freelance sites out there for students to use. I find flexjobs.com to a really good one!

Nathan,

I've seen many people have success with Linkedin; Craigslist is also a possibility though it's more of a hit or miss kind of thing.
