* The monthly Hacker News "freelancers" posts
* Slack groups (geographical or programming language based)
* craigslist software section
My tips:
* Have a portfolio / resume handy
* Expected rate and weekly availability
- \* And your flexibility in both areas
* Citizenship
* Timezone
* Reason for looking
- Want to get experience in X
- I run a software consultancy
- Need a challenge
- Looking for experience
As someone who has looked for someone part-time multiple times, it's been a frustrating experience overall.
* Under-qualified
- I wish I did, as I love mentoring, but I don't have the time to take someone under my wing right now. Hence the need for a portfolio / resume / Github.
* Overqualified
- I can't afford you right now ;)
* People who already have 40 hour jobs and who _think_ they have enough time but they don't
- Not under the person's control all the time, I understand. Life gets in the way
