As you’ve already seen in our previous posts about Single Page Website Designs that showcasing your work in single page design is a hot trend now days. It's kind of ironic to see what designers can do with single pages as modern age designers love to experiment with things and observe how people interact with their work. Even though this is not a common trend to follow but still as the new design styles come up, and as more and more designers notice them and make use of them in their work, this kind of trends emerge.
In this presentation, you’ll find a variety of highly-creative, beautiful and most importantly inspirational designs which is following the same trend of single page designs.
One piece of business communication that hasn’t changed in a thousand years is the résumé. It’s the first contact you have with a prospective employer and your chance to sell yourself in 20 seconds. With such pressure, most people make huge mistakes with their résumé.
Seasoned professionals struggle with issues such as the chronological vs. the functional, editing to keep a long career under two pages and how to truthfully show one’s life without broadcasting they are older, heavily experienced and most probably highly paid.
According to Wikipedia, a job board is a website recommended for job hunting, the choices presented varying from very general tasks to precise niches. In the past few years, this kind of activities practically exploded; this trend was on constant rise, before the economic crisis, things changing quite fast afterwards. Recent statistics have shown that each year the sums transacted in outsourcing are growing more and more.
When trying to demonstrate the importance of the job boards in the global economy, there is some serious evidence that we can present, meaning a very relevant number: at the moment of writing this article, freelancer.com stated that $87,732,495 USD were transacted since February 2004. This amount of money is enough to buy more than 30 of the most expensive cars in the world, or 2 of the most expensive yachts or maybe to produce the "Avatar" movie again, so we are speaking about a lot of money.
As anyone who’s tried it can tell you, expanding your business worldwide is no easy feat. It’s time consuming and it involves a lot of research and implementation – but the reward more than makes up for it. Having a larger client base is what every business needs in order to survive and flourish.
When considering going global in order to attract new customers, the Asian market is always promising. Getting a foothold in countries such as China, India and Japan means access to billions of potential new clients. In fact, 40% of the world’s internet users are in Asia, and believe it or not, China has 30% more internet users than the US.
In any business, there is always a need to look for new clients. Hypothetically, the existing clients should continue to avail services (without much of convincing), but this does not happen. For any freelancer, work always comes in phases. Either you get overloaded with work that you have to turn down new clients or your worksheet becomes completely empty.
The trick is to regularize the work in such a way that that projects are lined up for months.
This is a list of the best practices that will guarantee you the kind of involvement you intend. Did you always wanted to do enough work so that you can take your family to Disney Land and not fear of the next season?
