Freelancer in FocusNICOLA HARDY
How have you found working freelance? What are the highs and lows, the frustrations and bonuses? I love working freelance – having done it now for almost 17 years!! The freedom and flexibility to organise your own workload and working day are fantastic benefits – on the downside you don’t always have someone on hand to bounce ideas or problems off! I have a freelancers coffee group (local people who I have got to know who also work freelance) so we meet up once a week which is great!! What are the biggest challenges for you for 2010? Keeping up a steady flow of work, along with trying to develop some new areas of business specialism to move into. Has Freelancers In The UK helped you? We’d like to think so, but how? Freelancers in the UK has helped me in terms of letting someone else keep abreast of new opportunities rather than having to trawl myself!! Having job alerts emailed when they come up is really useful. Times are tough for freelancers at the moment. What is the wisest piece of advice you've ever been given? Don’t panic, follow up old contacts and think what else you could develop for new income streams! Finally, what's your favourite food and drink, and why? What I really like is a nice cup of Earl Grey tea and a slice of carrot cake at 5.00 to signal the end of the day! Don’t always get it though!
