The dark side of freelancing

There are a lot of rumors and positive reviews about freelancing. Everyone talks about how much he can help people find freedom, not depend on circumstances and work from anywhere in the world. Freelancing is touted for its independence from other people, the absence of bosses, supervisors, work schedules and most of the other requirements that are present in a regular office job.

But not everything is as good with freelancing as we would like it to be. There are a large number of problems and disadvantages of freelancing, which are far from being talked about by everyone and by no means always. They can hardly be fixed, it is very difficult to do something about them, but at least you need to know about them.

Bad performers

You can hardly surprise anyone with the lack of good specialists on freelance exchanges now. Unless a person who has never encountered ordering freelance services. Indeed, finding a performer who would cope with the necessary task without any problems, completed it on time and without unpleasant surprises, is not so easy. Very often there are only people who seek to get a profit, earn money and forget. It doesn’t matter to them what the further fate of a project will be. For them, it is only important to hand over the project and get their money for it.

And the problem is not only that a person does not worry about the fate of the project and does not try to improve it, make it perfect. Most freelance exchange performers cannot even correctly assess their strengths. They misestimate the time it takes to complete a project, they don’t know how to manage their own time, keep records, show results, and even do what they themselves promised. Very often, freelancers send dozens of proposals for cooperation in order to get at least some kind of project to work. Some of the projects where they propose their candidacy do not even correspond to their level of knowledge or domain knowledge. They take on a deliberately failed project and, in doing so, let the customer down and ruin their reputation.

Unfortunately, finding a good freelancer is really not that easy. There are very few of them nowadays. And those that are, most likely, will be busy with their projects, which were offered to them by their regular customers. And all because if you find a really good specialist, then you try to hold on to him and work only with a trusted person.

Scammers

It’s no secret that there are a huge number of scammers in freelancing. And although most of their schemes of deception and earnings have long been known and thought out by the administration of the exchange, they still continue to trade with their “affairs”. All because the usual human factor works. People tend to not listen to the rules and advice that the administration of the exchange leaves them. They, in the pursuit of profit and getting the project to work, can refuse the necessary security measures, work without a guarantor, without prepayment and trust people without a reputation and positive feedback on the word.

Simply stealing your freelancing money from attackers will not work. Many freelance exchanges have pretty good security systems. Here, again, only the human factor works. Even if the system is flawless, protected from hacks and fraudsters, a person can always agree to dubious cooperation, work without prepayment and any guarantees. In other words, he accepts the risk of working for free, the risk of not getting paid for his work. It’s as if he doesn’t lose the money itself, they don’t steal it from him, but he loses time doing work for which he could be paid.

Unmet expectations

In addition to the problems described above, working as a freelancer, you can also face such an unpleasant problem as unjustified expectations. When a person comes to freelancing, he definitely expects something. He counts on some outcome of events and expects some results from his activities. In addition, he often follows most of the stories about freelancing and freelance work, flexible hours, the possibility of making big money easily, the lack of bosses and the relative ease of making money here.

But in reality, very often things turn out a little differently. The other side does not open immediately, but over time it still makes itself felt. For example, consider the main rumors about freelancing:

  • There are no bosses or managers in freelancing. Yes, they really don’t. But this is not always good. In such conditions, you yourself will have to deal with finding a job for yourself, working with a client, distributing your own time. All responsibility also falls on you and only you. You will have to learn how to go all the way, from the beginning to the creation of the project itself. And all because no one will do it except you.
  • Freelancing can make a lot of money easily. Unless if you are a specialist in your field, have vast experience and reputation. Before you can start making real money, you have to go through a serious journey and learn a lot. Your earnings will not always significantly exceed the earnings of a similar office specialist, and this money will not be so easy.
  • Freelancing has a free schedule, you can work at any convenient time. Yes, it would seem so. But that is why freelancers so often relax, forget about their obligations and are forced to work overtime. The lack of motivation and the need to work leads to the fact that, in the end, the freelancer is close to missing deadlines. Especially if he does not have a developed skill in managing his own time. In such conditions, you will have to work all your free time, perhaps at night, perhaps to the detriment of your own sleep. And all this despite the fact that freelancing you have a “free” schedule.

Freelancing really has a lot of advantages, it opens up opportunities and gives us the tools to achieve certain goals. But you need to understand that not everything is so good and simple here, you need to remember that there is a reverse side of the coin.

When, after many sleepless nights, the diploma is finally ready, I want to pass it and forget it. But the university will not lag behind the student so easily. After all, the full text of the diploma was read only by the supervisor, and a whole commission will gather to evaluate it. Therefore, in many respects, his assessment depends on how a student defends a diploma.

So what is a successful defense?

  • Competent protection text
  • positive diploma review
  • confident answers to commission questions

In the introduction to the course it is necessary to indicate many important points. One of them is methodology. The student is required to indicate what methods he will use in the study of the topic. This is not the easiest task, and often students cannot cope with this task themselves. In this case, you can contact us. Our specialists will write you a paper of any complexity, and you can discuss the price with them personally.

Speech structure

Of course, what exactly to say in the defense depends mainly on the topic of the thesis and on what exactly is written in it, but there are general recommendations that are suitable for everyone.

  • First of all, we need to greet the members of the evaluation committee. (“Dear members of the attestation commission! Your attention is presented to the final qualifying work on the topic …”)
  • Introductory part. Here you need to reveal the topic and identify the issues that are raised in the work.
  • Relevance of the topic. At this stage, it is important to prove the relevance of the chosen topic and the degree of its development in other people’s works. Indicate the subject, object, objectives and purpose of the study.
  • Theme disclosure structure. Here you just need to list the paragraphs that are in the work and briefly describe them.
  • Problem statement. To confirm the relevance of the topic, it is necessary to state the problem and indicate the debatable opinions on this matter.
  • Conclusions. At the end of the speech, the commission should hear the conclusions that the student came to in the course of writing the diploma, in which there are ways and methods for solving the stated problems.

On the one hand, it seems that it is much easier to write a graduation speech than the diploma itself. However, high-quality speech is a skillful squeeze out of the work, as well as its competent presentation. And it often happens that a diploma is written with the highest score, and a student gets a worse grade. Therefore, if there is a lack of self-confidence, you can order a speech on our website. And then the probability of failure due to bad speech will disappear. After all, we give a twenty-day guarantee for the work, and if something does not suit you, you can demand that the author finalize the order for free. We make sure that students are satisfied, so if the final version of the work does not meet the stated requirements, you will get your money back.

Formal requirements

When writing a speech for a thesis, you must also take into account that there are purely formal requirements.

  • Time. Do not forget that there are many students, but only one commission. Therefore, the time for a defensive speech is regulated and ranges from 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time, you should remember about the time that will be spent on commission questions.
  • Intonation. Where, no matter how on the defense of a diploma, is it important to win over listeners? Therefore, it is better not to read the speech monotonously, making accents with intonation.
  • Style. When presenting a speech, it should be remembered that the main goal is understanding on the part of the commission. Therefore, you should not be too smart, but you can’t switch to colloquial speech either. In this matter, you need to observe the golden mean.
  • Pronouns. As in the diploma itself, it is important to remember during the defense that although the author of the diploma is clearly spelled out, there are a lot of true owners of knowledge reflected in the work (the authors of all the sources the student relied on plus the supervisor), so first-person pronouns are not appropriate here.
  • Questions. After the end of the speech, questions from the commission will inevitably follow, and you need to be ready for them. Suggested questions should be written down in the course of writing the thesis, work through all the questions that arose during the pre-defense, and you can also look at the questions at the end of chapters from textbooks on this topic.
  • Pre-protection. In such a matter as defending a diploma, it is better not to be presumptuous and neglect pre-defense. On it, you can practice giving a speech and write down possible questions from the audience. This will allow you to feel more confident in the official defense.

Of course, these are only recommendations, and no one forces you to strictly follow them. However, the rejection of some positions during the defense will create additional questions from the certification committee, which is not always loyal. Therefore, it is best to think through all possible questions and answer them in advance in a defensive speech. Then the teachers will have a minimum of questions, and they will be grateful for the saved time.
