When applying for freelance (1 time) jobs on Craigslist, do I send my entire resume—or keep my introduction short and sweet with my work attached as jpegs??

(I am working on an online portfolio, but it is not ready yet.)

I want to get into freelance proofreading (seeing as how it’s one of the few things I seem to have a knack for) but I’m having a bit of trouble finding jobs in my community.

I want to look online for freelance offers that don’t require too much in the way of education (I’m still a sophomore in high school). However, most ask to see a resume of credentials, diplomas, etc. Is there anywhere I can look that will simply accept proofreaders without this? (I realize that if they do, they may not off pay. This is fine with me because I’d like to build a reputation in the freelance world before moving on up to companies or publishers that pay.)

This is to apply for a second job, part time, where the entire hiring process is conducted online and via telephone, (the work involves telecommuting).The cover letter is giving me the most trouble, in most cases I don’t even know the name of the person doing the hiring until they contact me in response to my resume, who do I address it to? What can I do to make my personality evident, to make it original, and yet still be professional?

I am beginning to start freelancing as a Computer Graphics Artist (Animation, 3D Modeling). I wanted to know if there were any reference material such as books, websites, and etc. that has some information on how to get started? I must emphasize I require information that is concise and doesn’t speak in broad generalizations.

How to create invoices/contracts?

How to advertise and market services?

Since many companies I would be working with are long distance what are the methods of payment?

Currently I have my portfolio online. Also capable of placing artwork on CD and VHS cassette if needed. In addition to applying for employment at some places, I have registered and/or posted my resume on many job sites. I am looking to get started as soon as possible.

Does anyone know what corporations/companies might be looking for Techincal Writers, Software Support, etc. to telecommute? Or any good telecommute sites to post a resume?

I am looking only for salaried positions or positions that have an hourly rate.

Thanks for the help. And please don’t post any survey type sites. I don’t want to have to report anyone. Thanks a bunch.
My background is in designing/writing course curriculum. I’ve also written sections and chapters for software manuals. And wrote cybe security and anti-terrorism policies and procedures for an IT dept. within a large electric company.

I am looking for quality companies that I can submit my resume for working at home. Does anyone have any ideals in this subject matter? I do not want to pay to find a job or I do not want to be part of a Network/Multi-level pyramid. I am looking for ways to work at home.

Sincerely yours

I live in Austin doing freelance work. I wanted to look for a job with benefits and a salary but I want to look online because I just want to submit my resume online. Craigslist is not working. Oh and I have a BS in Advertising and have experience in the promotional marketing field.

I am a graphic designer, in the field for 5 years, and my job is done 100% on the computer. I currently have a full time job which requires me to drive an hour to and from work and with the price of gas I can hardly afford it. I know for sure I can find a job telecommuting, a.k.a. working from home. I just don’t know where to start. My resume and portfolio are ready to go. Does anyone have this type of job? Advice on how to find one?
