1. Freelancers Avoid Discrimination
Despite legislation which makes it illegal, discrimination
on the grounds of age is still an issue in the job market.
Even highly skilled and experience professionals may find
it harder to secure a job as they get older.
One answer is to turn to freelancers. Clients seeking
freelance skills are more likely to value your skills and
experience, and less likely to worry about the numbers
on your birth certificate. ********************************************

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."
