Objections to freelancing individuals bidding for projects
Seasoned freelancers often tell me that they don’t use bidding sites because “bidding on jobs degrades the integrity of the Freelancing profession.” While this might be true, I’m not going to walk up to a construction contractor and tell him or her that he or she is degrading the integrity of his or her profession. I am afraid that bidding on jobs might be a reality of our current world.
I also hear this one a lot too: “Employers who go through these sites are looking for cheap work, not quality work.” While this may be true some of the time, it is certainly not the rule. Via these sites, I have worked with dozens of upstanding clients who have paid me a fair wage, and appreciated my expertise.
