Finding developer projects and other work in this economy
zridling:
Looking to post a few helpful resources for those looking to work on individual dev projects/temp work for companies. Here's what I've found.
What others are out there that are helpful?
Sologig
http://www.sologig.com/
Sologig.com is a niche website specializing in connecting contract-to-hire, contractors, freelancers, and consultants with quality employers looking for independent professionals. Registration is free, and unlike other project based websites, we never charge you project fees. There’s also no bidding on Sologig - you choose which projects you are interested in and negotiate pricing directly with the employer.
Authentic Jobs (hat tip to April!)
http://www.authenticjobs.com/
Authentic Jobs is a targeted destination for web and creative professionals, and the companies seeking to hire them.
VisualCV.com
http://www.visualcv.com/
VisualCV.com has revolutionized the resume forever by radically improving the ways in which resume data is presented, accessed and shared. Use video, photos, demos, etc. to enhance and demonstrate your skills to employers. Also, it's free.
Glassdoor.com

No matter what career field you're exploring, you'll want to do your homework. Glassdoor.com has anonymous company reviews and employee ratings as well as real time compensation data.

Very interesting. Thanks Z.
mouser:
And please check out my post about the idea of adding a jobs board/group to dc forum:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=17681.0
My idea was that rather than reinvent the wheel -- let's see if we can find one of these existing job sites, but one that will let me or other programming school mod on dc be able to "manage" a listing of people on the other job site, and make extra comments, and prevent non-dc people from associating themselves with the group, and an api for being able to list everyone in the group on a dc page.

I would not suggest guru.com to the people who are looking for work. You would be severly underbid by others and the person who is putting the contract.

Good point, kartal. I wondered about that. But then you just wouldn't take the job if it was not worth the time, right?
