Considered Freelancing?

In this tough economy, it has become more difficult than ever to find a job. Some people resort to jobs that have little to do with their preferred profession using none of their PR skills acquired in college. But there is hope--- become a freelancer.

You might ask, "Well, how does one become a freelancer?"

Easy! Guru.com is a site exclusively for freelancers and employers looking for professionals to do freelance work. Sign onto the website and immediately become a freelance professional. Upload your resume, work samples, what services you offer and become part of the freelance network.

From there the site works like the classified section of the newspaper, but easier. Guru.com notifies you when an employer is looking for work that meets your services. You then place a bid on the work, describing to the employer why you are qualified for the work, what you would charge and other logistical aspects. At the end of the bid period, the employer will pick the most appropriate nominee for the work. Upon finishing the work, you are paid.

This network is perfect to make some money while performing services you enjoy doing. A lot of the employers note that if they like the work you do, they will contact you again for further assistance. Ideally, freelancers hope that if the employer likes their work enough they will eventually become hired.

Social networking, with added bonuses---show off your work, get paid and get noticed
