LIST OF GENUINE SITES OFFERING FREELANCE WORK

As promised in my post on 'Freelance work' sites, here's the list of some GENUINE sites offering feelancing work:

1. http://www.guru.com/
2. http://www.academia-research.com/
3. http://www.elance.com/
4. http://www.bidhire.com/
5. http://www.odesk.com/

There are, of course, many more.  But these are definitely some of the most reputed ones.  I'd keep on adding to this list as and when I get more in this category. 

Point to Note: Many seemingly legit sites may ask you for membership fees for joining and offering your services.  My advice would be to IGNORE these, and focus on the FREE membership ones.  One golden rule to remember always - NEVER pay to get a job, whether to a recruitment consultant in the 'real' world or to such sites in the 'virtual' one!
