Taking a good look at myself - freelancing

It's certainly crazy times right now, while I am in the market at least to get myself secured for another job (guess that's gonna be a bad move) .... amid all the news amongst companies. It's interesting that individual project works are abundant out there, and I bet people (including myself) are just burying bids over them !! Will this really be a new way of work that's getting more popular soon enough?

It is possible, in a day where job security is increasingly diminishing. Everyone is trying to hang on to something that they will be able to do, and it seems like finding individual project work will be pretty much the way to go for some. Why not you know? Increased control on your time, increased job freedom (though it is going from project to project, your stress may be higher if it's gonna be hard to get a project). The other good thing is that, most likely you can claim the project as your work and post it on your portfolio since you are very likely responsible for the entirety of the project(which is what I like and need the most).It's almost the perfect type of job for most, look i said ALMOST.

But we all have to keep up with the newest technology/ practices that will come up in the trends of the respective industry we will work in, and by not having a office job, we probably will need to find new ways to interpret that trend. And there is always that instability once there are too many people going for that project .... you always have to make sure you can get a job to do to guarantee an income.

What a dilemma this can be. Hopefully I can get to a good start and can keep up with the storm.

Good luck to us all !
