It depends May 12, 2003

Hi Prakaash



I think it depends on the outsourcer.

Some say \"bid through ProZ exclusively\", others say \"e-mail only\".

I think that most of the jobs offered on proz goes to the lowest bidders, and that\'s why I seldom bid. (but proz is a fantastic site, and many jobs have come my way through my profile and website.) ▲ Collapse
