Re: FN-FORUM: Job posting on freelancers

date posted 5th January 2004 19:54

i just keep away from stuff like this - I am happy to pitch for work.
But if its not a pitch then what is it?

Chances are, that you do the work - they reject it - you don't get paid
- a week on they change the design a little and run it.

or at least that what I though when I read it.
