"* offer to work for free (if you can afford it)"
I know there are stories where working for free is a good strategy, but they are vastly outnumbered by stories where not working for free was the best option.
I'd argue against it unless you have a really, really, really good reason to work for a specific organization for free.
- mooreds 13y agoI think you are correct. One reason I worked for free for an organization was that it was in an entirely different space than my previous experience, and I wanted to know more about it. Other good reasons to work for free: * gain skills * meet people But you definitely want to be careful and limit it, otherwise you'll get taken advantage of. It's very similar to offering a free software service--often you don't know if what you have is valuable until people start paying for it.
