One of the most frustrating things about this job is when people approach you with a project, have some meetings or email discussions with you, tell you that you're exactly what they're looking for and then never contact you again!
I think my emails disappear into the ether somewhere because they hardly ever get answered by the people in question.
It's really simple, all I want to know is whether or not I'm going to get any work from these companies. Once I know that, I can decide how much other work I want to pitch for so that I'm earning to my full potential, but not running around like a headless chicken with deadlines coming out of every orifice. Is that too much to ask? I think not. I'm not asking these people to give me money, I just want to know whether projects are likely to come off so that I can plan my working strategy for the next few months.
Maybe today my emails will be answered...
...UPDATED: One of the companies has come back to me to say that the projects they had for me have been put on hold, so that's why I haven't heard from them. Actually, It'd be nice to be told that they wouldn't be putting any work my way for the short to medium term. Ho hum.
...MORE UPDATED: The second company I've been waiting on have come back and said that they have no news on whether their project is a go or not.
I think I have to assume that that too will fall by the wayside and get me a**se in gear to find more work. At the end of the day I might have to turn these projects down if they come back to me, but I can't wait on things for ever, I've been sting like that before.
