Tricks Looking for Freelance Work

So cool when you have a side job in addition to a regular job, besides can get an extra income, you also can add to the experience, expand the network, and develop creativity. But you need to be careful, because if not managed well, working side will only be a nightmare.

The first difficulty is the timing. Two or more of work to do, while time has not increased, still 24 hours a day, certainly makes you more and more busy, You no longer have time to gather with family, friends, even yourself. If allowed, you might actually be a stress because of work pressures.

Another problem that may arise is the declining quality of jobs. Can be imagined, with limited time and energy, you must complete several jobs at once. This certainly affects the concentration. If you currently have a steady job and is considering going to take a side job, you should consider the following:

1. Kind of a side job or field
Try to choose a side job that does not contrast with your main job. Even if you can, choose a side job that supports the main job. For example if you work as a journalist in a media, you can choose a side job as a freelance writer in various media.

2. Working climate in the office
Note the working climate in your office. Does your office situation currently supports or to allows do a side job, If you are quite flexible work hours, you can be more free to do a side job, But if the working hours. Your nine to five for example, you have to adjust a side job that you select in order not to interfere with your main working hours.

3. Value added
Before undergoing a side job, you should consider what added value you get from the sideline, both economically, socially, mentally, and spiritually. Do not get side jobs that you select only a waste of time and energy while the results obtained did not cover your needs.

4. Position
Just think, if a side job that would disrupt the office and you live your position or not? If you currently occupy certain positions that enough time and energy drain, I think you need to review whether your

5. Still need additional work or not.
Obviously, any kind of side jobs that you live later, not to interfere with your primary responsibility. The rest you will also need to think about the health factor. Because, having just one job you need to fit the conditions let alone have a double job. Do not get additional work that will take you to the hospital.

Withdraw Must also from Elegant Job

Finally, the day you've been waiting for had arrived. You can get out of work during this highly you hate. In an atmosphere filled with hatred against the boss, your job or even both, there must be a desire within you to realize the fantasies that have been planned for, damage the system.

You probably will not tell your boss how he make in regulating subordinates, leaked on co-workers-anyone who has ever talked about them and what had been discussed, or taking inventory in the warehouse foolscap to take home. You might think: after all I'd be out of place, so it would not hurt to not take advantage of that opportunity?

1. One big
The way you resign indirectly will affect your future career. Hold your temper and do not try to retaliate, but out of the job with professionalism is still awake. Here are the things that must be considered.

2. Think long term
Do not until you remove the comments bad-mouth your boss or co-workers at the old place. Despite the urge is very strong (and very nice to able to do so), keep in mind that what has been irrevocably pronounced. These words (if heard by other people) will always be remembered and maybe someday she will get to the person you bad-mouth. Besides you still need the old work place as a reference, still no chance you'll meet a new colleague who has a relationship with the old office - both as a client, supervisor, or (worse) a close friend of one of your coworkers the old place.

3. Think rationally
Stop work can be full of nuanced emotional experience for both you and the boss (who may have been treating you with arbitrarily). Your boss may be feeling shocked, angry, or to defend themselves (and assume the error is entirely in your hands). Although tension may occur, hold your emotions and remain valid as a professional. With stops, you have actually managed to reply to a treatment. Imagine how long that will be required to seek to train the new person up can really fill your position?

4. Thinking ahead
Create a letter with a brief, to the point and include the date when you will be effectively stopped working. Do not send via email, but immediately went to the staff / person of interest and submit the letter. Be careful because it may be so submitted a letter of resignation, you will be immediately ordered to clean up your desk and at midfield out of the office. Therefore it is important to pack your stuff a few days before (eg a week) before stopping. Collect items that might be useful one day for example email addresses, business cards from clients, coworkers or supervisors, or the information you need about the project you're working. Because once you leave office for the last time, these items can’t be taken again.

5. Think positive
Had your old job was colored hard times (and annoying), it might be a little difficult not to comment / tell you about these times. But to carry the burden (and annoyance) long into the new job will only damage your reputation. Your new boss or colleagues certainly do not wish to listen to complaints about your old job. Deh Forget your old nightmare, anyway, besides, we already have new jobs. Face periods of transition with professionalism possible and welcome golden chance at a new job in front of you.

Utilizing Discount Offers

Every weekend - even every day! - Shopping centers and malls provide a very tempting offer: some discounts. Beware do not immediately go crazy when I saw the word 'big sale', 'great sale', "70% off" or something, because, in a state of frenzy, you can easily remove cash from a wallet or credit card swipe, without considering other factors.

So as not to regret later, you still use common sense, to be able to take advantage of discount offers as possible. In addition, you also need to consider:

1. Provide a special time when it comes to event discounts. Shopping rush will make you less careful in monitoring the quality of goods purchased.

2. Rigorous quality goods and make sure you will enjoy the value of these purchases.

3. If you're a bad mood, you should not go to the store which showcases the discount. People who are bad mood usually tend to hungry eyes and buy goods that are not needed.

4. Before you buy, make sure you really need the goods. Do not let you buy just because they are inexpensive, and finally abandoned goods.

5. Compare the price of one item is used with other places that sell the same goods. Choose the cheapest.

6. Do not buy goods at the sale location when you really do not know what the price of normal, both in the store or at another store.

Shopping is fun and very familiar to women. Not infrequently these fun things to make women become 'hungry eye' and very impulsive when I discovered a lot of 'sale' were scattered throughout the mall. If you can’t be controlled, you will be stuck in a consumptive lifestyle.
