Jay B Sauceda on what it takes to have a good creative freelance career. “The overwhelming thing we hear from our clients about other freelancers is the inability to count on the people they have worked with in the past. Crazy unreliable freelance work schedules makes it hard to work with people who have normal work hours. Enjoy being on your own schedule, but understand that its important to work around the people who are hiring you if you want to get hired again.”
