Freelance Jobs
,
Freelance jobs are based on a contract or agreement between the freelancer and the customer.
If we really want to go back to the original meaning of freelance, we’d see a knight/jouster who was free from fealty to any sovereign. As a “free lance,” he was free to fight-for-hire as needed.
Modern application of the analogy isn’t really that different. A traditional employee metaphorically swears fealty to a sovereign by agreeing to work under the employer’s roof and rules. In return, the employee receives benefits. A modern freelancer, has no long-term commitments to or benefits with an employer. The freelancer is free to address customer needs for specific projects, generally with the following expectations:
- If a freelancer has any or few long-term commitments, they will be with a customer rather than an employer.
- In return for the freelancer’s work (established in a written agreement signed by both the freelancer and the customer), the customer provides payment. That’s it.
- It’s a very loose, temporary, and simple agreement on a specific service(s) in exchange for payment.
- Freelancer and customer then part ways until another project need arises.
