Your Online Profile is your Greatest Freelance Resource

We would all like to be hired with people just taking a look at our cover letter, but sadly that does not happen - well, at least it does not happen all the time. Today, along with the required capabilities and experience, there is one important aspect that even the most veteran professional sometimes tends to forget - the professional look and feel. Having an online profile is a integral part of  the entire activity of communicating to others the professional touch. Here are some of the reasons why you should have a online profile as soon as possible:

Freelance Online Profile Simplifies the Interaction between Client and You: 

If you are interacting with the client, having a profile simplifies life for you as well as the client. Having a streamlined, simple profile enables you to send the profile to the client as soon as they request for it (which they will, if they are interested in your work) and keeps you free to think about the other aspects of the communication. 

Freelance Online Profile Jots Down Your Achievements and Talents:

Even the most hardcore of professionals sometimes fall flat when asked questions like 'Tell us about yourself', or 'What are your greatest achievements', etc. With a online profile, this is a thing of the past, simply because when you create your online profile, you get time to reflect on your career and find out for yourself what you have achieved and what you have missed on, giving you the right leverage to speak to a client when they are interacting with you.

Freelance Online Profile Helps you in getting new assignments quicker:

If I had a penny for everytime I saw a interesting job but could not or did not apply for it because they wanted my profile, this blog would be a full blown website. Once you are armed with a online profile, you are basically adept to apply for the job with the most paperwork to the least paperwork requirements.
