Go Freelance

Options
Hello.

Forgive me if this has been asked earlier on the thread, but I have been receiving emails from a company called Go Freelance - I think it's something I clicked an interest on when I was in uni. I'm really just wondering whether anyone has joined this or had any experience of it - it markets itself as a freelance work exchange. They have a subscription charge of £3.87 for the first 7 days (like a trial period) and then £23 a month afterwards. I've got an English degree and a lot of the offers that they send to me I'm fairly sure I could complete quite easily, but I'm a bit scared of being ripped off.

Thanks

    Any reputable company worth their salt would charge the company looking to recruit - not the worker willing to do the job in question.
  • That's what I thought too. From what I can gather, you need to appy to bid for a job which I find slightly confusing. I think that they charge both parties - the worker for the privilige of being able to bid for the jobs and the employers for the chance to advertise their jobs. Seems such a shame if it is a rip-off though - I could really use the cash :)
