There
are three individual paid services (and combinations of those
three services) provided directly by AllFreelanceWork.com. These
services are:
1. Targeted resume service
2. Profile Service
3. Portfolio Service
We
do not and can not guarantee that anyone will gain any benefit
from using any of these services. We do not have a business relationship
with any of the companies or individuals that may use this site
to search for freelancers or employees or to whom we send resumes
to create any kind of incentive to hire or even read your profile,
potfolio or resume. We only provide services that may increase
the chance that you may be seen by a potential employer. Any follow-ups
or contacts that are made to you by potential employers are based
on the merit of your own qualifications and/or your ability to
communicate your qualifications through our services. Further,
because of the unpredictable nature of the internet and the dynamic
nature of the programing for this site (as we constantly try to
add new features and tweak existing features) there is always
a possibility of both data loss and site outages. That being
disclosed, you must use our services at your own discretion.
In
regard to refunds, because our resume service in not retractable
(resumes sent out are then out of our control) we will not provide
refunds for this service. In the event that you have accidentally
submitted your resume to us and immediately realize that it was
a mistake you should email us at allfreelance@comcast.net right away. If we happen to catch your email before we
have sent out the resume we might be able to assist you. As we
will often send out resumes very soon after submission we provide
no guarantee that this will be possible, and any decision on this
matter will be at our sole discretion.
If after two weeks you have not received any responses to your
resume and are dissatisfied with our service we may at our discretion
provide you with a one time resubmission after approximately 60
days from your original submission.
As for our profile and portfolio systems we will, at our discretion,
allow for a refund on profile or portfolio services if we receive
an email from you within seven days of your profile or portfolio
submission.
In the event that you require a refund of part of a package in
which you receive both resume and profile services you will be
refunded only the amount left over after the full cost of the
individual resume service is subtracted from what you paid. Once
again resume services are not refundable.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any
disputes regarding arrangements between Freelancers and Hirers
remain solely between Hirers and Freelancers. We are not involved
in any transactions between You and any other users of AllFreelanceWork.com.

to any such dispute or be obligated to take any action or refrain
from taking any action toward resolving any such dispute. If you
have a dispute with any other users of the Site, you hereby release
Us from any and all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential)

DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO FREELANCE OFFSITE OR ONSITE Deciding to work onsite or offsite sounds like a relatively simple decision, but it’s actually one which isn’t easy to make. Sure, when you’re lying in bed just after the alarm has gone off and you see that it’s raining outside and all you wish was that you could go back to bed for ten minutes and then do your freelance work from home, working offsite sounds ideal. But there are as many cons to the offsite work job as there are pros and you need to weigh them carefully when making the decision about whether to work onsite or offsite.

FREELANCER'S GUIDE TO TIME MANAGEMENT The most common problem that freelancers face is figuring out the balance between work and the rest of life. While there are a few freelancers out there who don’t work as much as they need to in order to pay their bills and improve their business, most freelancers have the opposite problem – they work ALL the time. And that’s why there are a great number of freelancers who “burn out” after a short (or if they’re lucky, a long) time. In order to make sure that you aren’t one of those people who “used to freelance but got burned out”, you need to set limits on how much you work. Then you need to stick to those limits.
