Anfisa: 自由职业包含幕后准备和台前工作两个层面。幕后阶段侧重于建立信任、积累人脉和做好充分准备,而台前阶段则专注于实际工作、项目管理、财务结算和客户沟通。成功的自由职业需要在幕后阶段投入大量精力,例如建立个人品牌、制定报价策略、准备项目提案等。她建议不要贸然辞职,应先做好充分准备,再开始寻找客户。寻找客户的途径包括线下人脉、线上社交媒体和自由职业平台,但无论哪种途径,建立信任都是关键。她强调要先提供价值,帮助他人,再寻求合作,才能建立良好的人脉和信任关系。 Anfisa还分享了自己的自由职业经历,从学生时代参与黑客马拉松开始,逐渐积累客户,从早期初创企业转向更成熟的企业。她认为,自由职业平台竞争激烈,佣金高,因此更倾向于利用线下和线上人脉寻找客户。她建议有志于自由职业的人士,应先做好充分的准备工作,例如建立流程、模板、报价策略等,再开始与客户合作,避免因为缺乏准备而导致工作效率低下,影响客户满意度。 Ioana: 她分享了自己的自由职业经验,一直兼顾全职工作和自由职业,通过TopTal平台和LinkedIn寻找客户,在不同行业积累经验。她认为人脉是关键,线上形象有助于拓展人脉,但需根据个人情况而定。成功的自由职业者通常组织性强,有良好的时间管理能力。她建议建立结构化的工作流程,例如制定时间表、安排专注工作时间等。此外,还需要处理财务和法律方面的事务,例如开具发票、缴纳税款等。她建议可以从小项目开始尝试自由职业,逐步积累经验,降低风险。她还提到,兼顾自由职业和全职工作可以提升创造力和工作效率,带来新的视角和灵感。
