Clients eat proof like hungry bears at a picnic. Showcase your skills through personal projects, contribute to open-source initiatives, or volunteer for non-profits. Every project is a stepping stone, and a well-stocked portfolio is your key to unlocking the freelance treasure chest.

What kind of portfolio do you recommend? Would it be a website or something else?

Nice, do you have a recommended staffing agency?

Upwork has been decent for me, but most clients severely lowball their hourly rates.

From what I understand, freelancers are struggling right now, specific time of year is a given, but just generally speaking. I’d also say a couple years of experience may not be the most successful to branch out on your own.

Grab some contract roles and side projects and build a portfolio and social proof.

I would do contract roles but benefits are usually not the best. Because of family needs good health insurance is needed.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
