As many companies are looking for easy ways to get jobs done with good quality and less fees the freelance market has been booming and increasing at a very fast pace. Although this is a very good thing for the economy as many unemployed people are provided with jobs and the means to cater for both themselves and their family. There is also a con to this, the con being that people decide to bid and go for jobs that they know little or nothing about. For example, I have heard so many people complain about the the quality of product they got after hiring a freelance web developer to design a website for them. But that's the truth every good thing is bound to have some bad eggs among it. It is up to the employer or the person that is offering the job to filter through the candidates very well to find the right person for the job. I could say that it is like looking for the right girl to marry. You have to open your eyes very well because after the job is done you are married to the product not for life but until you can hire a better person. So i advice you to ask questions a lot of them. There is never too much questions if you want the best quality for your job. You can Google and find out some fundamentals that the freelancer ought to know and you can conduct a mini interview.
