Hello
Im Masters qualified in a research degree. I’m looking at going freelance. My main experience is qualitative research on small scale projects. Anyone got advice on type of research work I can do e.g interviewing and write up, research or any agencies I can register with?

Someone is going to say this so it might as well be me.
You've got a Masters in Research but you don't know how to find employment agencies that deal with research type jobs? It doesn't particularly bode well for your future career does it?
Sorry if that sounds harsh but I would've thought that 'researching' potential job opportunities would be right up your street.4 -
have you tried the TV companies? or the newspapers? they are the sort of employers for freelance researchers.0

Do you ever use Google? Looking at some of your previous questions (e.g. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6159376/writing-briefings-correspondence-for-different-audiences#latest) I'm not sure that people here share your concept of being 'qualified in a research degree'. Could you expand a bit more on the sort of research you want to do going forward?geminigem said:Hello

wilfred30 has a point. You can easily use google to find out whether or not there are such jobs available. Or the institution you graduated from should surely have some information? That was certainly the case when I did my MA anyway.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts. Although I do carry out careful research before posting and never intend to mislead or supply out-of-date or incorrect information, please do not rely 100% on what you are reading. Verify everything in order to protect yourself as you are responsible for any action you consequently take.2
