Any freelancers (solo or team) you would personally recommend? We've had some not so great experiences lately with under-delivering (to put it nicely).

Working with freelancers is a humbling experience, if you’re willing to look in the mirror. If you have accomplished freelancers and they’re not performing, chances are it’s the direction you’re giving them.

Sometimes the freelancers are the problem, but other times the problem lies in the inexperience and lack of training (as an industry as a whole) to teach ACDs or CDs how to get the best work out of people.

THISSSSSSS

My first thought was: what do you mean by: they under delivered? Did they not agree to work over the 40h contract they signed with you and asked to be payed? Did they actually delivered what their where payed for and you expected them to give you a good loaf of bread when you gave them crumbs?

It could also just be: They were not a got fit, and it happens... But I agree that some agencies forget when they hire freelancer that, they are not employees, and they will not bend over like employees would

Let’s talk speed reading. I’m a slow reader and listened to a podcast recently on speed reading. I’m intrigued. Who here speed reads? How did you learn those skills, and what types of documents do you speed read in practice? I do mostly litigation and am thinking that speed reading would help with research but maybe not things like doc review where you need to review for both responsiveness and privilege.

I just received email to submit documents for Wells Fargo. Before this , haven't had conversation with the HR.
1. Can I mail back asking for the budget they have for this role?
2. Can I keep the current CTC thet he asked as blank and just state my expected CTC in email?
3. He had asked for tenure in the current organisation. Does this affect the hike? My tenure in current organisation is 9 months.

Any suggestions on this will be helpful. Thanks.
