Hey all –
As someone getting started with Contra, I'm wondering: do most of your Contra jobs come from searching for them and applying, or from being discovered by clients on Contra and assignments being offered?
Thanks!
@Katie O. While I've gotten a few gigs by applying to jobs, I've had better luck with clients messaging me directly. Not every lead starts a project of course, but it's great to have the visibility. I think this might vary depending on your field/services as well!
@Kayla Elorza Thanks Kayla!
