I'm getting sick of using Upwork, anyone else? The fees are crazy, applying for gigs is expensive and there is too much competition for these roles, with people who are overseas willing to work for pennies on the dollar. Then there is the wait between getting paid by the client and being able to deposit the funds into my account. Does anyone use other sites to help them find freelance work that are a little more reliable and less frustrating? Also, feel free to share your Upwork grievances

I tried platforms for like for few years but for me I just couldn’t get any freelance work so I dunno if maybe I just didn’t give it enough time.

Since then I strategically collaborate with individuals and I’m able to create an additional source of them. Maybe you can find folks you trust that would be open to collaborating with you as well; that is if that’s a concept you’ve ever considered.

Good luck with everything and feel free to dm me if you’d like to speak further.

To be fair there's no solid platform competing with Upwork. In the beginning I had to pay a lot in fees to build up my profile and then it was easier for a while to come across roles and then it all died up.

Maybe don't use an app and pay fees. Learn how to navigate next door and I'll help

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?
