For technical types looking for freelance work, I have learned about a new web based service called oDesk. I hear that one of their hot areas right now is Apple iPhone app developers.
My brother is doing some freelance application development work around the social networking field right now so I know that this niche is growing. Employers are looking for flexibility and immidiate staffing, and technical experts are finding themselves in need of immediate bread for the table if you know what I mean. A service like oDesk is the perfect middleman for these two.
From Associated Content Press Release:
oDesk is a global marketplace for freelancers, where certified
professionals can pick up real jobs with guaranteed payment - and do it
all from the comfort of home. oDesk provides services to create an
'on-demand global workforce', making it easy for technology
professionals to network with companies in need of their services. The
recent economic upheaval is making sites like oDesk a tremendously
valuable resource for technology professionals who are now desperately hunting for legitimate jobs online.
