Freelance

Freelance overview Freelance work is something that doesn't appeal to everyone, but has many benefits, such as increased flexibility and unique experiences. Freelance work can be undertaken by anyone, whether they are an experienced freelance professional or someone looking to fill a gap in their time. The good news is, there are plenty of freelance websites of there for those who can find them. Bidding system Freelance websites often apply globally, allowing people around the world to compete for short-term jobs. This works through the use of a bidding system, similar to auction sites, where the employer will post a job description and the freelancer will offer a price for their service. While these sites are free to use, each freelancer is assigned a limited about of bids per month, known as "credits" although that limit can be increased with premium membership. Competition & websites Competition is fierce, but jobs often go to the fairest bid, rather than the cheapest and this can be a great way to earn some extra cash on the side. Some examples of freelance job sites are Elance, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer and oDesk.

Permanent

Full-time jobs Of course, not everybody is interested in freelance positions. The good news is, there are just as many if not more sites for those looking for full-time work and often, the list of work is even more comprehensive. Full-time job sites offer the option to upload and store a CV, making application processes quicker and easier. It is also possible to set personal preferences so only relevant positions are displayed in the jobs page. Some sites even include helpful sections such as CV builders and brain training. Full-time websites The good thing about job sites is that once you're signed up, you can simply pop to the website and apply to jobs as soon as they appear. Some good full-time job sites are Monster, Reed, Jobsite and TotalJobs. Whether you are looking for careers in IT or even teaching overseas, there is something out there for you; it's just about finding it. Good luck!
