Where can I find work?
So I'm leaving my office job, long story short, the emotional impact of the field and everything happening in the world has left me burnt out and wondering where I fit in. I took a review and realized that I'm my best when I'm writing and creating content so back to freelance writing I go. It's been a few years and I feel like I'm starting from scratch as a writer. Are there any reputable site for freelancers?

I just joined and found your post. I wanted to check in. More than a year out of you resigning from your job, how are you and what have you found to do? Asking because I did the same end of December and am still looking for a job... still freelancing. How's it going for you?

Hi, thank you for checking in. I’m took a job that is below my pay grade and experience level to keep a roof over my head. It feels like betrayal and has drained all my energy working 50hr a week to barely afford rent never mind live.
I suppose the lesson here is that until I live my truth, I will not be satisfied.

Hi Victoria, I use upwork.com. They have hundreds, maybe thousands of jobs for you to bid on. I have used that site for 10 years. (It used to be called oDesk).

How does this compare with Virtual Vocations? I've never used any of these services to get work – my past freelance work has always come to me by word of mouth.

I have never heard of virtual vocations, so I could not say. I use upwork when I do not have any word of mouth projects. You go in, set up your bio, then start searching. You can set up keywords for the search.
I just looked at virtual vocations. I would not use that site. It would cost me too much. Upwork does now charge for the credits. But you can buy 60 credits for $9.00 it is very inexpensive. Since I am picky and only bid when I need work, that 60 credits can last me a few months.
