What is the Minimum Qualification for a Freelancer?
There is no formal requirement for the
education of certificates among freelancers. However, A survey conducted by Top Freelancer in Gorakhpur map asking freelancers their highest obtained degree showed that –
-
42.5% had a university degree
-
4.5% held a master’s degree
-
28% has finished technical
college
-
76% of freelancers had some
form of higher education
Lack of formal education is not a hindrance
to a career; however, you do have to prove that you are technically suited for
the project. Education and work experience can give you a better start, while
lack of a certificate attesting your skills will require you to trudge up.
Creativity in the job hunt
A large part of job hunting is about
marketing yourself properly on the right platform. If you can present yourself
as someone who can pull off the job, then even if you are a freelancer inGorakhpur, you are assured of a good chance of winning the project. You
must be able to present your work or knowledge of the skill and the industry to
come across as a viable candidate for the job. Also, it is important to have
some basic skills such as knowledge of computers and various software,
communication skills, knowledge of popular languages such as English or
Hindi.
A degree certificate enables you to charge
a higher amount from the beginning, though there is no guarantee of the same.
Education gives confidence and knowledge that helps you view the problem from
different perspective, but it certainly is not a requisite to have formal
degree certificates to start as a freelancer.
