Actually, I get contacts who found me on Elance and Guru who request
assistance.
I have found that 9 out of 10 users who post a project actually need something
else, and end up following up with people they connect with via the question
phase, rather than complete the original process.
Some full time remote gigs are filled here also from both a bid type process
and job based contract process.
What is key is filling out your profile well, with full information, work
examples, companies: (skymall, choicehotels.com, nike, Warner Pacific College,
teleport.com, ucinet.com, uunet.com, spiretech.com, affinityvoiptelecom.com,
icrossing.com, transport.com, world.net, ausnet.com, nike.com, GST
Telecommunications, Payline Systems, stonehenge.com, polarsystems.com,
wolfe.net, U.S. Army [Unix], hitechfish.com, U.S. Bank/Key Bank, STC
Telecommunications [to name just a few] in my case) and add sufficient
information in your bid (also you only get like 3 bids a month on their free
features).
There are of course, the offshore cheap labor, however; as I recently posted to
the list, but employers and IT professionals get what they pay for.

I've not heard good things about any of these sites. I hear projects are
under bid and most of the prospects I talk to tell me they do not trust the
developers on those sites.
I have never used them so I have no personal experience.

For all you Freelancers, come compete with me for IT gigs:
http://www.guru.com
http://www.elance.com
http://www.getafreelancer.com/
Of course there are gigs and services on Craigslist.org but be ready to filter
out the work for nothing or trade access to porn portals for your work, or
maintain non-legal/ethical spam servers, etc.

Hi, I have a friend who is a Cobol and Basic programmer on Open VMS. He is
doing an out of state project right now and has recently moved to the Phoenix
area.
I'm writing this to see if anyone on the list knows of any long term or short
term positions for Cobol and/or Basic on Open VMS.
Thanks in advance for your help.
