Hey guys and gals, I was just curious to know where everyone looks for sound work online. Craigslist,Monster jobs, Linkdin, Mandy?
I just signed up with this site, www.elance.com Seems very legit, people post work they need done for various projects and people bid on the job. They have an elaborate mediation program too, in case any disputes arise during the payment process. Additionally they have a system in place, where by you can get paid after each milestone is reached and all the money is held in escrow, so you know the money is there before you begin work.
Perhaps those of you who are already more established and have years upon years of experience on us youngster, get all your work by word of mouth. But i was just curious to know how people in our field finds work to pay the bills.
Also how much would you credit your website/portfolio site, in landing you work? What role does it play? I'm redesigning mine at the moment and want to make it as nice as possible.
Again, I can't say how much of an amazing resource this site is. Thanks for your time! -Kevin
