How to find freelance administrative work
If you have good office management and computer sills, you might consider looking for freelance administrative work. As a general category, this includes word processing, data entry, calendar or appointment planning, basic billing and other administrative support tasks. If you have administrative experience, then all the better for showing prospective employers that you are knowledgeable, skilled and reliable.
Your first step to finding freelance administrative work is to craft a list of services. Write something up yourself, then research online and in newspaper classified ads to get ideas about services to add to your list or other ways to word your offerings. The goal is to present a comprehensive list of services that leaves no questions in the reader’s mind.
Once you have this list, you can add your hourly fees. If you’ve unsure about what your rates should be, call several local temp agencies to learn what they charge their clients. You can also use the salaries advertised in the newspaper as a guild—simply divide the annual salary into an hourly rate.
You’ll also need a current resume. Even if you go through temp agencies or Web sites to find work, having both a resume and a list of services will help you look professional and easily fill out all the forms and paperwork.
There are many sources for finding work. You many want to target one source at a time, or make up lists of companies from all sources and start with a few from each. Either way, you will be making lots of phone calls and visiting lots of local businesses to make your pitch.
You may talk to any previous employers and let them know you are freelancing. Inform the human resources or temp workers. If you are working now, consider starting your freelance business on the side and working slowly toward independence. You may even be able to get freelance work from your company.
You may also do some research at your local library, the chamber of commerce and through the local paper to target small businesses that might need occasional or ongoing part-time work. Small operations such as landscaping, construction, food or catering and painting are sometimes too small to pay for a full-time office helper and too busy to do the work themselves. These companies could use someone in the office for a few hours a week or a monthly billing session.
No matter where you get your work, remember that your performance will impact whether a company wants to hire you again and recommend you to other people. Work-of-mouth is an important resource for getting work, so make the best of any work and networking opportunities.

怎样找到行政方面的自由职业
如果你有很强办公室管理能力和电脑技术，也许可以考虑找一份行政管理方面的自由职业。根据一般分类，这种工作包括：文字处理，数据输入，制定日程表或者安排会面，开账单或者是其他支持性质的行政事务。如果你有行政管理的工作经验，能向未来的雇主展示你是有知识有技巧，并且可靠的那就更好了。
要找一份自由职业性质的行政管理工作，第一步是要列一张包含服务内容的清单，首先自己写一些，然后在网上或是报纸小广告上找找，看还有什么可以添加的服务内容，或者是用文字把自己的能力和所能做的事情表达出来。这样做的目的是要做一张一目了然的清单，不要让看清单的人心存疑问。
清单做好之后你可以在上面加上自己每小时想要多少工钱。如果你不确定自己处在哪个标准，可以打电话去当地的临时事务咨询所问问看他们收取客户多少钱。你也可以参照报纸上的薪水建议——只需要简单地把薪水换算成小时费率就可以了。
你还需要一份现在的简历。即使你是去临时工作事务所的网站上找工作，有简历和清单也会使你看上去很专业，并且能使你很快就能填完所有的表格和书面材料。
你可以从很多地方找工作。也许你每次以一种渠道为目标，或者把各种渠道打听到的公司列下来，从其中一些入手。无论是这两种方法中的哪一种，都需要你打很多电话，并且不停地去各个当地的公司推销自己。
你可以跟以前的任何雇主交谈，让他们知道你现在从事自由职业。通知人力资源部门，因为不管是自由职业者还是临时员工的工作都是他们安排的。如果你现在有工作也可以考虑做点自由职业作为副业，慢慢地走向独立。你甚至可以从自己的公司接到活干。
你还可以在当地图书馆、商会做些调查，或者是通过当地的报纸来找一些小型的公司，这样的公司可能会有不定时的兼职工作或者正有兼职工作。一些像搞园林美化、建设、食品和承办酒席的小公司承担不了全职的员工自己又忙不过来，这样的公司可能会需要人手一个礼拜工作几个小时或是一个月工作一段时间。
不管你是在哪找到的工作，都要记住你的表现，这关系到以后这家公司还会不会用你或者会不会推荐你去别的公司。口头宣传对于找工作是很重要的，所以要充分地利用每一次的工作和人际关系带来的机会。
