Freelance
Freelance employment is done by people who are selfemployed and have no appointed time of when they go to
work or leave work. They tend to have to find their own work
and manage their own career through picking their own
hours and ensuring they work enough to support themselves.
This can be a disadvantage as if they cannot find work then
they don’t have a secure income.
Example – Paint and Decorator – This is typically a selfemployed job as they receive recognition of their work
through word of mouth which allows friends and family to be
likely clients.
