Hi everyone
Ive finally been hired by a webdesign company as their junior. I am so relieved to have this job because I am very used to scrabbling for work til 1am most nights, and grabbing weekend projects, and basically, not ever finishing at 5.30 or having any security.
But the problem is, their work is very sparse at the moment, and they say they will give it 3 months and if I still don't have any work to do, they'll have to drop me
So i am trying to think of ideas to help them.
Now i know freelancers use this but.. has anyone got work off Odesk or similar site for their company, and been successful? Are there any niggles with doing this (eg maybe not odesk, because of the payment-only-thru-odesk thing)? Should it be avoided? Or is it a good idea? I see some little companies that operate on odesk; maybe 10-12 people on there using the same company logo, all representing same people. So i thought it was worth an ask! I hope so..
