B. J. on 02/09/2010 11:28 amWe are in Billericay in Essex. Meetings would probably be once every 2 weeks (project is likely to run over a couple of months) and generally we find it most efficient if freelancers come to the office for the working day, although it could be half days if that worked better.

Do you have an idea of how many hours a week you would need someone?
Thanks!

Not too sure at the moment as the project is in development. It might be possible to job share. I guess we'd need availability of about 15 hours a week over a 2 month period.

Could you advise where in Essex you are based? I am in Epping, but Essex is quite broad :)
Thanks!

We are in Billericay, so pretty close!
Here are some practical tips on staying safe
- Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
- Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
- Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
- If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid
- Don’t start work before your Bid is accepted and your Escrow deposit is made
- Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
- Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
Remember: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
