Taking the plunge into full-time or even part-time freelance work can be overwhelming and uncertain. The benefit? Freelance work is empowering - you are your own boss! The first step is to thoroughly research and plan so that you can be confident in your decision.

Often hiring managers don’t read through your resume fully and instead glance through looking at key words and spotting phrases in your resume that match the job. So be conscious of the structure of your resume as well and ensure the most relevant skills and achievements are highlighted higher in the list and easier for the hiring manager to spot.
