If you’re booked out for 1-2 months in advance, what’s the best way to keep your availability somewhat open in case the other team on it ends up selling something instead of you, and then you get your contract cut a bit earlier. I’ve had others reach out and told them I was booked until X month. But now I feel like it looks like I got canned if I reach out before that time to say I’m actually available sooner. Or do sourcing managers not think twice about that?

I except all job inquiries knowing one or two will either go silent or back out when then the time comes. If 2 end up happening at the same time, great, I’ll double-dip.

Unless they’re putting down a deposit ahead of time (which of course they’ll never do) than my schedule is always wide open as far as I’m concerned

Man I love a double dip. 🤞🏼

Sourcing managers, of all people, should understand how quickly staffing needs can change. If they’re weird about that then you don’t want to work for those people.

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?
