Just noticed the tag for me in the post....
For me all my work abroad was self sourced...and still is.
I find the events, and the clients for it.
What I have noticed is that clients like to know the exact amount the need to pay in advance - so the way I work it is that I tell the client that the job will cost them £xxxx .. and that is then all inclusive. And I sort my own flights, hotels, meals.
This way I know in advance how much I will get paid, and know that it covers my expenses and gives me a profit. And also the client doesn't need to worry about how much I will spend during my assignment.
I do have some clients who organise everything 'door-to-door' for me.. so it's picking-up from home, flights, hotels, rental car, meals...
But from my personal experience... the profit from these is less, but then the travel is in Business Class and fancier hotels.
This is just the way I find it works the best for me, others will tell you that having a client pay for all is better... so I don't think there is a right or wrong way to do it... just what ever works for you.
I could write a long post about overseas work and how to go about finding it...(but not on the iPad ...)
So if there is interest in that... might try to find some time to write a post...
Hi GooGaBu (you don't have your real name displayed!),
Thank you for the post. I can appreciate how much effort it always seems to take when writing something informative on a phone/tablet.
It's very interesting to find out, from all of you experienced toggers, how these things work.
I bet you get to see some amazing places, whilst meeting some very "interesting(?)" people?
It would be nice to see some insight into how you managed to pick up overseas work. I wouldn't share all your secrets though!
Many thanks,
Wez
