I second this. Often, working as a freelancer is also a great way to get offers for full-time employment without any interviewing. Companies like to keep good people around, so if you're doing good work as a freelancer you'll often get an offer to join the company as an employee. Personally I used that strategy to get some really great deals, and I don't think I could've negotiated the terms I got if I had applied to these jobs as a regular candidate.
