soft skills and hard skills<\/a>. Balance is everything. To be fair, freelancers have more edge compared to their office-based counterparts for most parts. However, they, especially those who are new in the scene, can have unrealistic expectations of working from an independent location. There\u2019s a possibility of incompetence when these expectations are not set straight.<\/p>\nSome companies allow their remote workers to report at their convenience as long as they render a certain number of hours per day while some work synchronously, following a specific time zone. This can be a downer for those who need to work late hours and may lead to incompetence in the virtual workplace. There are also instances when they fail to manage their time efficiently. For most cases, this can happen when they are dealing with different clients all at the same time<\/p>\n
In addition, distractions are ever present and your freelancer should have a great deal of discipline in dealing with this problem. If you are one of those clients who let your remote team member work on their preferred time, you may encounter someone who starts work too late and set a meeting schedule would be too hard to set up. These situations may sound dragging but the key is to negotiate well enough to achieve a mutual understanding between you and your future freelance partner.<\/span><\/p>\n
