Are agencies pretty good at hiring on if they “wanna try you out Freelance first”?

I think this is such a case by case basis that is contingent on your performance, how well you get along with people, their budget, and one million other things

That makes sense. The job posting was for a copywriter, not a freelance position. Not sure if that helps.

Prob just want to make sure you are a good fit (this is a good thing for you as well)

Which agency? This happened to me, once I waited a year and eventually just left, current one I was hired after a few weeks, was easier to just bring me on as freelance and see if I clicked with the team versus doing a ton of interviews

Sometimes it’s about fit, sometimes it’s about full time headcount vs freelance headcount. Make sure they’re paying you more as a freelancer since you don’t get the same benefits (insurance/401k/ESPP if with a big company)

God, I really hope so. Finding full time Jr roles has been hard enough right now.

I’m freelance right now and my contract is up in 2 1/2 months. So I’m hunting really hard.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
