or terribly afraid of looking like an asshole (who the fuck cares, people that think of you this way are total losers anyway and they have clitdicks) |

Date: December 24th, 2017 2:35 PM Author: Cordovan Tank Mood see this is being enterprising as fuck, businesspeople honestly they just want you to be well spoken and semi personable (twist: this is how i make most judgments, i then will have someone vet your tech skills and assuming they are passable i will want to work with you) vs some autist
very easy to do the following imo: (1) build portfolio/sleek website using bootstrap/other responsive design (2) make a calendar of meetups in your city for business people (3) attend meet ups and ask people about what theyre working on (4) when there seems to be a spot where they might need additional resources say "have you ever considered hiring some freelance help? i do it full time and am happy to share a portfolio with you" (5) remember their name and follow up with email until they tell you to fuck off or they hire you (6) do a good job and politely ask for referrals |
