How do I get my first IT freelance job?
Hi everyone, I’m an international student currently studying a Master’s in IT, switching my career from retail to tech. My goal is to eventually work as an IT freelancer, or maybe a part-time freelancer. Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time learning and building real projects. I’ve launched several websites using React.js and Vue.js, and used some AWS cloud services for deployment, including my own developer portfolio site. One of the websites I built was for a friend’s event company, just because I wanted to help and gain experience. Last week, I also launched my first iOS app. Even though I built it with ChatGPT’s help, it gave me my first real experience in submitting an app to the App Store and understanding the process. Besides frontend and backend work, I’m also self-studying CCNA to strengthen my networking fundamentals. I sometimes share my progress on social media, and once a former colleague asked if I could build a website for her new boutique. But after that, there haven’t been any updates yet. So up to now, I still haven’t officially received my first freelance job request. I’d really love some advice from people who have freelanced or are freelancing in IT. How did you get your very first freelance job? And is there anything more I can do to start getting real opportunities? Thanks in advance!

Should I pursue a full time job in marketing or freelance to build an agency?
In my previous job at a large family fitness facility I was a marketing associate and customer experience manager, this meant I did everything from crafting marketing campaigns to fulfilling the services. Design the menu and work in the kitchen...I designed all banners, posters, merchandise, website, newsletter, print, menu graphics, website graphics and digital publications. I also managed operations, memberships, a cafe team, facilities, and digital marketing contractors. What guidance or skill set enhancements could further elevate my career? Considering my experience should I get a job OR find part time work and provide freelance marketing services such as social media management, design and publishing services to business owners?

What specific factors affect the chance of a freelance illustrator getting a job offer from a client?
I understand that freelancers have to manage their own money, time, daily schedule, as well as their marketing, and various other things. Because of this, I would like to know the specific actions taken by a **freelance illustrator** (who is looking to get an offer from a client in any industry) that they feel are their most important "keys to success." For instance; ● Are there any things a current or previous freelancer would recommend having on a resume? ● What kinds of pieces would you recommend having in a portfolio? ● Are there any specific sites or places that you would recommend getting familiar with? ● Any tips and tricks you used to increase your number of possible clients? Thank you in advance for your time. #illustrator #digital-art #illustration #freelance #digital-illustration #art-and-illustration #freelancer
