How to apply to full-time jobs with a freelance resume

A freelancer applying for a full-time position may find it challenging to press a variety of experiences into an application designed for applicants with a history of full-time positions.

Freelancers could approach the application process from an angle that frames their experiences so that it is easy to understand to those unfamiliar with freelance work.

Getting through the first round of the hiring process often means adapting your resume to match the job description. Freelancers may have multiple jobs within a two-year period where the roles are similar to one "title.

• A freelancer could describe the title's responsibility for a full-time job description that asks for 'two to three years of relevant experience."
• Where one has to put the company's name, instead of listing 50+ projects, consider placing a label that describes your situation, e.g. Freelance position, clients include x.y.z. etc.
• Or include a summary of attributes.
