Freelancers

[TheGreatErnie]

Hi,

Just wondering if there are any other freelancers on the forum? Thought it might be good to share experiences and advice ect

[woofmarkthedog]

Yes....

But I'm just TOOOOO busy

W**F

* skims through gallery "what's on" section *

[DJKillaQueen]

Yep freelancing here too....no boss would ever allow me to troll the forum at this hour after all...!

[silverfox]

Nice idea TheGreatErnie - have to charge you for my time though

[dbboy]

yep, freelancing as well

[SteveT]

There is a past thread for the self employed to meet up 'n stuff.

Sadly I cannot remember the title to do a search:-$

[Keef]

I may be joining your ranks soon...

Excellent news, Keef. 'Loose Women' awaits..

Prefer Jeremy Kyle myself - there's something about freelancing that makes him strangely alluring.

[AnneBowers]

I am - and I would be interested in sharing - and frankly having people to have coffee with. I mainly work with government or quasi government clients

Yep, freelancing here too. Design.

Only small-timers call themselves freelancers. We big boys call ourselves contractors!

[*Bob*]

What's the difference?

Does a freelancer get more slacking-off time than a contractor?

I think I must definitely be a freelancer. I freelance here.. I freelance there. You know. Busy-Busy.

Having worked for a not short enough short time in construction industry, a contractor was usually late and unreliable.

I am a sole trader / independent contractor (as USA puts it) and otherwise self employed.

LostThePlot started a group for us self employed lot, but either the dates for meets were a nightmare for everyone to be able to go to, or he himself was so busy he couldn't run them!

Maybe we should ask the Forum person for yet another section JUST for self employed people.
