Work from home conditions
- Prefer to work from home? Ask if you can. If they say no, do your first job, make a good impression, and then ask again the next time. You will stand a good chance of them agreeing. I now have a few clients who let me work remotely on small jobs or after the first day's briefing has happened at their studio.
- If you end up working in-house and don't like someone, don't let it get to you. You'll be out of there pretty soon. That's the joy of freelancing — it's not forever.
- Are there other freelancers working in the studio? Make friends with them.
