Refresh-DC - “Getting Serious with Freelancing”
February 22nd, 2008
So yesterday was my first Refresh-DC event, and it was amazing that so many people showed up. I meet some great people in the technology community and even someone that I graduated from RIT with. Martin put on a great talk about “Getting serious with Freelancing”. Some of the items that he talked about I have experienced myself such as taking freelance jobs for very little money just to get your name out there. I felt a bit better after the event being assured that I wasn’t the only one taking the hit. Overall, it was a very informing event. Even though I don’t think I am ready to get “Serious” but “Get Started” with freelancing I have taken a lot away from this event and meet a lot of great DC geeks.
I’m hoping that Martin will post the slides from the event soon. When he does I will link to them here. Thanks to Justin for reminding me about this event.
