Working Freelance Session 3 - Interviewing A Freelancer
I used to get kids to do this. Find a freelancer and interview them. For example, these were interviews conducted by a media student way back in the last decade.
Haven't for a while which is why the resources you've seen so far are a bit old. I think we should develop a new resource bank. I want you to find and interview someone, anyone, working freelance and develop a list of questions to ask them either via e-mail or face to face.
I'm not going to tell you how many questions you should write, although I think 5 is a good bare minimum to aim for, or what the questions should be. Look back over your pros & cons list. Remember the whole point of this unit is establishing whether Freelancing is right for YOU so you need to ask questions about the freelance life, the kind of personality it suits and doesn't suit, the problems associated with it and the positives associated with it. Get together a list of at least 5 questions (anything up to 10 questions will make a good list).
Then start thinking about any people YOU know who work freelance and whether you could interview them either face-to-face (and record it with your phone for transcription) or, easiest way, via e-mail.
If you genuinely can't come up with anyone don't worry, you'll have to interview me I'm afraid. When you've completed your interview and got the answers, blog or write the whole thing up.
