What DTA1 said. Friends and past colleagues. It’s the only thing LinkedIn is good for.

Recruiters hit me up via LinkedIn, usually. But yeah, word of mouth referrals are usually how I land work the most.

Network like a MF with both your past connections (to the first responder’s point) and beyond by creating new ones. Post on freelance boards like The Avail, etc. Sometimes people will post freelance gigs on here and other social media networks.

1. Work somewhere for 10 years 2. Leave and have your friends hire you

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
