Another bug that must be fixed.<br \/>\nI have to think&#8230; solutions. Freelancing, coding, site translation, subtitling, and working as a receptionist for a few days this summer\u2026 The best thing when you are working as a freelancer is that you can work from any place as far as there is a computer and internet connection so I took my laptop and went to Folegandros island Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Always I will keep my mind open to new challenges and opportunities\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Social media\u2026 Easy thing? Ops\u2026 I love Twitter and I keep an account on LinkedIn\u2026 oh yes these two are enough for me. At socialmediaday.gr one-day conference, which took place a few days ago, they mentioned that you must have as many social media accounts as you can handle. I have accounts on other social media. I have to be informed of how they work; not only as a communication tool but also as a business tool. it is a part of my work. Which one is the most appropriate for my customers\u2019 websites \u2026Twitter, Facebook, etc plugins?<\/p>\n<p>When you Love what you do, you do it well.<br \/>\nIf you are well organized and concentrate on your own dreams, you can survive in this demanding and competitive world. I know that I am detail-oriented, keen, and hard working with communication skills to relate well to people. Self-motivated and able to work independently, make well-thought-out decisions, prioritize and work to deadlines under pressure. \u263a and this is not a typical paragraph on a cover letter.<\/p>\n<p>Yes working as a freelancer or being unemployed is the most time-consuming \u201cjob\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you<\/p>\n<p>Happy November \u263a<\/p>\n<p>P.S Yesterday I heard on TV news this we are 7 weeks away from Christmas\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-606\" src=\"http:\/\/dimitrakarakou.gr\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Christmas2.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas St Pancras\" width=\"557\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dimitrakarakou.gr\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Christmas2.jpg 557w, https:\/\/dimitrakarakou.gr\/digitalmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Christmas2-261x300.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>LEGO Christmas tree at St. Pancras Station &#8230;<span class=\"st\"> <em>during my master&#8217;s in London<\/em> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-url=\"http:\/\/dimitrakarakou.gr\/digitalmedia\/archives\/587\" data-hashtags=\"freelancing,job\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post came to mind when people ask me what exactly I do and I don&#8217;t have time I am a programmer and designer without a proper job (in an office) Ops\u2026 no time?
