Have you ever been to conventions related to your field? Even if the entrance fee of some of these events, particularly the high-profile ones, carry a steep entrance fee, the opportunities created by attending them can do wonders for your freelancing career.
In such a large gathering of like-minded people, you’ll meet interesting people who represent […]
Recent readings have inspired me to compile a short list on plagiarism. Click through the links below to find out more of this lazy and ironically self-defeating activity.

As long as there’s a plug nearby, laptop owners can get things done anytime, anywhere. Of course, a flat surface and a chair helps.
This is where you have to be a bit discerning. Too often we go for the first table we find, even if there’s no room for our legs. Needless to say, such […]
Nothing is more embarrassing than calling up a client living in a different time zone, only to discover it’s 2 am wherever he is. Congratulations! You’ve become known as the Sleep Killer (cue lightning). Clients back out of their contracts, just so they’re sure you won’t ruin their beauty sleep.

The fact is that in some projects, your contribution won’t be credited, even if you’re entirely responsible for accomplishing the project. Traditional gigs like ghostwriting come to mind.

Strictly speaking, a freelancer’s involvement with a company is only for one specific job. Neither full- nor part-time. But, for the purposes of this blog, even part-time commitments fall under the scope of […]
Politics exist wherever there’s a group of people working together. “Politics is observed in all human (and many non-human) group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions.” That’s right, politics exists even inside the Vatican.
My mom and dad, who’ve found success in the corporate world (both retired early with generous packages), constantly tell me that […]
Despite the best efforts to find the perfect posture, staying seated can be draining. The human body was built to move around; based from personal experience, remaining relatively sedate gives mental and physical signals that activity isn’t required, so the body begins to feel sluggish.
