Another weekend is coming up and due to the higher scam job frequency during this period, it's the right time to highlight top mistakes freelancers can make when receiving a job offer from a new client.
Let's kick off the list with the advice Debs and Andrea shared in our most recent Community Talk session. Adding a few more for good measure. Please keep adding to the list!
- Deb's top tip: Don't rush into contracts; take your time to assess. The rush is your first enemy.
- Vetting clients and proposed jobs is crucial. For new clients without job history, it's essential to ask questions, do an interview and trust your gut.
- If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
- Review Petra's The Bonus Scam on Upwork and How It Works post.
- If unsure, ask the Community.
Stay safe everybody!
