Ever thought that a freelancer was just a lazy person sitting at home all day, chatting to friends on the phone or playing games on the computer? Well, I hate to tell you, but you thought wrong. Yes, it is true that freelancers can do projects from home, and can generally work their own hours - but in some cases they can sometimes end up working harder than the average office employee.
In this article, we will look at a few aspects of time that a freelancer has the benefit of over normal company employees. We will see that freelance jobs can often require more effort than other standard ta....
When we consider an individual’s mental well being, it's not often that we form a link between this and a freelancer. How possibly could the two be intermingled? Well, studies have shown that there is a true, measurable effect of being a freelancer rather than a typical office worker. Of course you are wondering what this correlation could possibly be - and in this article we will explore the connection to find out why freelancing is apparently more "healthy".
Firstly, I want to discuss an important feature of any freelance project. It's that of diversity. If you have had a full time offic....
If you are not a freelancer, and you work in a large, corporate business - you will probably be familiar with the particularly rigid and solid management structure these organisations have. Working for one of these will entail regular meetings, performance reviews, work critiques, and most fearfully of all - the possibility of being layed off at any time. Some people don't mind this. For others though, this presents a situation in which they are unable to perform and achieve at their highest level.
If that sounds like you - let me introduce you to a better way - freelancing. A person who t....
Did you know that a freelancer on average will earn more each year than a typical office worker handling the same types of tasks? Well, statistics tell us that this is a completely true statement. In this article, we will take a closer look at the money which a freelancer earns by doing freelance projects, and break it down to see exactly what the difference is between this person and a normal office worker.
Let's begin with the savings. Picture this scenario. A person lives just outside the city, but not on a public transport route. They drive in to the central city each and every morning....
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting someone who has more time to spare than I do, but who also has a higher income each year than I do. He worked from home, and I had to slouch in to the office at 9am each day, battling the daily traffic, and breathing in all those nasty fumes outside. He spent quite a bit of time with his kids, much more than I would have the time available to spare. He seemed to have everything that he wanted, and yet here I was - working and working, and really only being able to pay off the bills each month.
What was his secret? I'm sure you are keenly on the edge ....
You were recently out at a party, and couldn't help overhearing a conversation where the term "freelancer" was tossed about a few times, and apparently understood by all of the conversation's active participants. You know that they were talking about the general topic of employment, but you don't quite understand just where this mystery term fits in. Not to fear - I will ensure that by the end of this article, you will be all the wiser, and will have a full understanding of what a freelancer is.
In layman’s terms, a freelancer is someone who takes on a job, or a number of jobs, as they wan....
Have you come to the end of your tether? That's the employment tether I'm talking about. If you have been through anything like me, you will know how frustrating it is to have to deal with recruitment companies, human resource managers, and other company representatives. They are basically out on a mission to fit a particular job description with a particular person, and very rarely stray from a precise path - one that is guarded by the "process and procedural" police. Yes, sometimes it’s just not fair, or is just plain stupid that they choose not to consider you for a role, when you had 4 yea....
Freelancers - they are a fun bunch. When it comes to competing for jobs, the excitement in the air, and the desire to do the best possible job, is palpable. Freelancing has been around for centuries. The term itself actually came about all the way back in the early 1800's, originally relating to battle warriors, and the battles that they fought internally as well as physically. Indeed, the term has developed over time, to have its current meaning today stand as someone who works "of their own accord", and is free to take on work from more than one employer at any time. Freelance projects can b....
