1. WORK LESS, RELAX MORE
We've all become accustomed to working longer hours and
trying to cram more and more into our busy lives. But
some baby boomers, it seems, are cutting back.
Many people are realizing that working too hard can be
bad for your health. So instead, they are reducing their
working hours, and taking some extra time to enjoy being
alive.
As a freelancer, you are in a great position to do this.
So don't be afraid to turn down a project once in a
while. You could find yourself with a better quality of
life as a result.

2. Hot Job:
Two Flash Developers Needed
Two flash developers are needed starting on 3rd November
till 28th November. The project is to develop a number of
flash modules, each explaining an example of good
practice in a number of pages with text, images,
animation and video, to a set style and format. These
will be linked into a searchable database which is
already almost built. The level of flash work is biased
to the creative side, though a knowledge of
ActionScripting will help. If you are interested please

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
