7 Things Freelancers Should Never Say

In freelancing and contract work, there are some unspoken rules about professional behavior–many of which focus on what is not appropriate to do or to say to your employer.

No matter the temptation, here are seven things you should never ever say to your employer:

7. “I can’t make your deadline. Something came up for another employer that’s more important.” Now, we understand juggling other people’s deadlines is a reality of freelance work, but there is a way to finesses the matter and avoid offending with your words. Your employer must never feel that their deadlines are lower priority than someone else’s. Choose your words wisely to manage both your deadlines and your working relationships.

6. “Can you write me another check? I lost the first one.” If you have automatic payments set up, like on oDesk, this will never come up. But if you’re dealing with paper invoices and checks, things like a misplaced check happen sometimes. If you lose a check you’ll need to say something to your employer about it… but make sure to temper your request with an understanding of their payment cycle and patience for the time it will take them to reissue you payment.

5. “I love my line of work so much, I’d do it for free.” Errr, if that’s true, they’ll probably take you up on that at some point. Even if you adore what you do, saying you’d do it for free belittles the value of your work. Loving what you do means you are worth every penny because you’re passionate, but be sure to show your passion without hinting that you’d be willing to give away your work.

4. “I’m too hungover to work today.” Okay. It sounds far-fetched. But people really say such things when they get a bit too comfortable in their working relationships. Be careful when offering excuses–they will be used to measure your character and your ability to manage both your work and your personal life. Stay professional and don’t give your employer reason to think less of you.

3. “I’m thinking of moving into another line of work.” These types of statements are written in stone.While you may be kicking the tires on a career change, to an employer it sounds like you’re one foot out the door already. Employers put in this uncomfortable spot will likely replace you, thinking that it’s a better move than waiting around for you to replace them.
2. “Gotta go, my lawyer is on the other line. I’m suing my former employer.” There may be all kinds of legitimate reasons to sue a former employer, and you might have a very good one. But avoid having to tell your current employer these details or you might as well write “litigation risk” across your forehead. Those words don’t exactly spell out “trust me”.

And the number one thing you should never say to your employer …

1. “I’m in the bathroom right now.” Just because you may use your cellphone, your smartphone or your laptop in the lavatory, doesn’t mean your employer (or really anyone else) needs to know that you do. Please, don’t ever say these words — aloud, via text message or IM, or in email. These words are the definition of “too much information.”

Freelance Career Advice from Paris Hilton


Sometimes career advice is lurking just around the most unlikely corner. For example, we recently discovered that Paris Hilton had a few things to say about online freelancing and contract work.
With nearly 3.5 million Twitter followers, Paris’ morsels of wisdom are obviously in demand. Here’s our take on some of her most notable quoteables:

PARIS SAYS: “Trust me, people act differently toward you when you’ve got jewelry on your head.”

What It Means: You might be thinking having “jewelry on your head” means wearing a tiara. However, in this case having “jewelry on your head” is, we’re pretty certain, just a fancy socialite euphemism for “looking professional.” If your online profile/portfolio picture makes you look professional, then online contacts will treat you like a professional. (Trust us.)

PARIS SAYS: “You can see all these girls leaving a party at the end of the night and they look terrible … This is a huge mistake. People remember how you look when you leave as much as they remember how you look when you arrived.”

What It Means: Paris is trying to tell you that “how you look” (i.e., your job performance and your professional behavior) at the end of a contract should be as important to you as how you looked when you were trying to land the job in the first place — look good on your way in and on your way out. Contract employers will remember how you performed the tasks more than how you presented in the interview, and your feedback will be based on performance throughout. (If you’ve already blown it, take this advice.)

PARIS SAYS: “I only want friends who are there for me like I’m there for them. Otherwise, it’s too painful.”

What It Means: Paris wouldn’t waste her time with employers who aren’t just as professional and courteous as she is. Otherwise, it’s too painful. Dump that client! (Or, as we suggest, try to give them constructive feedback – perhaps some guidance on the best ways to work with you will change how they do business for the better.)

PARIS SAYS: “The best thing about owning your own nightclub is that everything’s free and you can tell the DJ to play whatever you want.”

What It Means: We’re fairly sure that “owning your own nightclub” is Paris-speak for having your own business. (Fancy socialite euphemisms strike again!) Because the best thing about contract work is that you work for yourself. Your business belongs to you. And just like Paris asking that DJ to play her favorite song, you can ask your employers to pay you whatever you want. (Within reason, of course. And, PS, nothing is free.)

PARIS SAYS: “I’m an actress, a brand, a business woman. I’m all kinds of stuff.”
What It Means: Paris wants you to think of yourself as a real professional. A brand. A business person. You are the whole package! Believe in your abilities and be your own PR team, because — just like Paris — you are all kinds of stuff! (And here are the ways to communicate that to potential employers.)

The Importance of Improving Your Skills

One of the great things about working for yourself as a contractor is having more control over the direction of your career. However when you are meeting tight project deadlines while simultaneously interviewing for the next job, it’s easy to overlook the bigger picture. It’s vital to set aside some time and start thinking about how you can forward your career by adding new skills, qualifications and experiences to your resume.

Here are eight reasons why it’s important to improve your skills:

1. You’re the driver!

It’s worth remembering you are your own mentor, HR department and boss. Nobody else is going to be looking after your contractor career development except you, so you need to be the instigator of change. Rather than resting on your laurels, make sure you are moving forward to ensure you don’t get stuck in a rut.

2. Win new work.

One of the main reasons for adding to your skill set is to be able to win new types of work, which may be more interesting or lucrative. It may be as simple as completing one of the oDesk skill tests in order to seal the deal, or you may want to branch out into something completely new–which involves retraining and new education courses.

3. Increase your hourly rate.

Job satisfaction is important, but so is getting paid. If that summer vacation still looks out of reach, you may need to invest in some training or certifications to ensure you end up with a better rate of pay.

4. Play catch-up and stay knowledgeable.

Many professions require you to keep on top of new developments, which can move very fast. So if there is a new software release, or a dynamic new design trend, you may need to have that knowledge under your belt so you’re better equipped to compete on your next job interview.

5. Stand out from the crowd by combining skills.

Over the next few years the world of contract work is undoubtedly going to get more competitive. You many need something extra to really stand out. Sometimes unusual combinations of skills can result in you having a unique selling point. Are you a programmer who also knows about accessibility? Are you a graphic designer who can also write great copy? Merge your talent and your passions to find creative combinations that make you more marketable.

6. Highlight your talent.

If you know that you have a talent — such as writing — but it is rather unproven, and you don’t have enough experience in that area to get hired, then having a formal qualification may help you get your toe in the door on relevant projects.

7. Impress employers by demonstrating your character.

Employers love self-improvement. They greatly respect individuals who are moving forward and developing themselves, and if you can demonstrate this — particularly at the interview stage — then they are likely to consider you the type of person they would want to work with.

8. Reap the personal rewards

The most important part of learning a new skill or undergoing training is the sense of achievement you will feel when you move forward. Moreover, the whole process of learning is rewarding and interesting, and you can gain insights into your own capabilities and character. You may also meet friends and valuable business contacts on the way. You really can’t lose when educating yourself, improving your skill set and advancing your own contract career.
