We all know that some websites facilitating applications for job search and project advertisements collect monthly fees from the applicants. Some freelance providers are lucky enough to comfortably pay about US$9 per month but some applicants like those living in the third world countries just find it impossible to continue paying monthly fees. That monthly fee is already food on the table considering the situation that freelance contracts are not permanent and long term in nature. For those who have difficulty paying the monthly fee I would advise that you use people search. Subscribe as a free member of the job search website, look for the job you like and then look for their contact details at people search.
At people search, you make your strategic search by using the email search option. You must be careful not to irate those job advertisers by calling without an appointment and without the proper introductions. It would be wise and safe to search for their email addresses first. When you obtain their email addresses from people search please state the advertisement and the website where you found them. Express your interest to work on their projects and how you intend to complete the project. Ask for the project pay rate and then send your resume. The task is simple if the advertiser’s email address is available through people search. However some do not put their email addresses on the net for fear of receiving bulk emails from spammers.
Advertisers who do not usually put their email addresses in the internet always put their telephone numbers in the telephone directory along with their residence addresses. To obtain their telephone numbers use the phone and address search. This way you may call them, introduce yourself and ask for their email addresses. If you are lucky the call will be considered as an interview. The bonus would be their email addresses which may be considered as one step ahead of the application process. This means that they want to go to the next step in the hiring process like reading your resume in order to know you more. Calling is the best way to know if the advertiser is interested in your services or not but it may prove costly for those who are living far from the advertiser’s country.
In the absence of the email addresses and telephone numbers, you will have no other choice but to send your application through the post office. At least the cost is still minimal than having to pay the job search site their monthly fees. When you are looking for a job seek the free sites first to save on cost for your job hunt. Job hunting could be costly especially if they will call for an interview because you need to take care of appearances and of course your clothes. So save whatever you can do to save and spend whatever you need to spend. People search is a great help for job hunters. It gives full information on what other job search sites have concealed. Try looking for your advertisers on people search and take the chance of calling or sending them emails direct.
