So... about those private request emails

You might want to check if you have private clients. Emails are being wonky and I got a bunch of requests that never came to my email. Sad panda.
Just a heads up to others to check.

And inbox emails too.
Might want to check your inbox, dudes and dudettes. Missed a potential customer.

Happened to me too. Missed one by a couple of days but luckily it had a deadline of over a month. Then 4 more came with a 3 day deadline but luckily I happened to check that day because of what had happened with the first one. I heard that it should be working okay now but I haven't gotten any new private requests to confirm this. I've made it a habit to check a few times a day now

How have you found private customers? I had one once, but that was the only time.

They found me, actually. lol
My profile was pretty sucky. I updated it to be very specific and strong in my area of expertise (software development), and after that I started getting private requests.

Ah, yet another curse of majoring in English. If I could go back in time, I would slap my 18-year-old self.

lol Well, I'm actually a bio/chem major because it's more interesting. I've just been programming since I was 21 and it makes me money. There's no money in bio or chem either unless you go the route of something like an MD or pharmacist, which would be too much school and debt for me to go into it. So, I just answer the question in every interview "Why bio for a degree?" lol My boss has a PhD in Physics, so there's apparently no money in that either!

Also about the ongoing conversation... I'm a Religious Studies major, so THERE'S something with no prospects

Wow, evaku, I feel downright valuable
Lysis, my husband is a bio/chem major - that's why groceries are tight
Evaku is right. I found some articles in My Projects that didn't come through email. Thank goodness. Also spiffed up my profile. Thanks for the tip.
