Thanks for sharing! How to you ensure that support teams support you when working remotely. When we were working at home during covid, I had so many challenges getting a hold of finance and procurement staff virtually so reports and follow ups on procurement requests. How are you able to coordinate with different departments virtually?

[@natashamcampbell]

Heya! Thankfully most of the companies where I have freelanced use tools such as Slack, which is a really valuable instant messaging communication tool. I pretty much communicate with everyone I need to using this tool, i.e stakeholders, finance, even external vendors. Thankfully I haven't faced that issue, but when I do feel like someone is taking long to respond and it is pretty urgent, after a few follow ups, I would check in with their upline just to make sure everything is ok, or pop a meeting in their diary for a quick catch up with a clear agenda of the things I need to discuss. Also, company cultures are so different, I think some companies took a while to adapt to a remote working environment whereas others really thrived with it.

[@anasuya2061]

[@natashamcampbell]

[@toyinadesoji]

Hi Natasha - enjoying your vids - how did you become a freelance pm? how did you feel ready? and were you in a perm pm role before?

[@natashamcampbell]

Hey Toyin, thanks so much! I actually fell into freelancing, I was made redundant from my perm role as an Account Manager at a tiny creative agency (I only had perm roles before my first freelance role), and was just open to freelance and perm PM roles. Randomly got a freelance PM role (low day rate and travelling from London to Milton Keynes every day) but I was just super happy to get my first PM role, then worked out how much I was making in comparison to being perm and never looked back :)

I really appreciate the information on Slack and Adobe now I'm going to check those systems out while I'm getting my Google certificate. Thank you for your time and insight.

@@natashamcampbell Thank you for sharing!

[@toyinadesoji]

@@kameelah7710 Hi Kameelah - what is the google certificate for?

[@maryjohnston3676]

I am new to your channel thak you for sharing your knowledge and tips. I am a Project Manager and wants to transition to freelancing. What are your tips on how to get clients? i am still on the research on how to approach it. I also dont have qualifications such as Prince

[@natashamcampbell]

Hey Mary, don't worry about not having the PRINCE2, its not always a prerequisite and more depends on the sector you're in. In my opinion, I would advise connecting with as many recruiters as you can that have a team that specialise in freelance roles within your sector. This is how I initially met most of my clients, which enabled me to get reoccurring bookings and some of those clients recommending me to other companies wanting to hire a freelance PM. I know recruiters aren't always the most popular choice, but the good ones can really help propel your freelance career.

[@ladypink9081]

What is the base salary for freelance project management contract jobs?

[@natashamcampbell]

You'll be looking at a day rate for a freelance PM role as oppose to a salary. Also depend on the sector you're in as some sectors pay considerably more than others like Construction and IT for example. I wouldn't go any lower than £350 a day and that is outside IR35 (Inside IR35 I wouldn't even bother), but if starting out be open to being flexible in order to get your foot in the door. Hope that helps!

[@kaycampbell364]

how did you learn please?

[@natashamcampbell]

I have the PRINCE2 certification, but I learned everything else on the job
