A favour please... can you help me find out if this site is all it's cracked up to be?

I'm currently looking for freelance and/or part-time roles, and hope that you or someone in your network might be hiring. Please get in touch, share this post, or tag contacts below to help me get things started.

Here's a bit about me: I'm Sam Roberts, a versatile project and programme delivery professional with experience in publishing, research, writing, events, and learning and development. I have worked within private, educational, and third sector settings, and have run my own business since 2013.

I'll confess that I haven't been in the market for work for some time, and so I've felt a little uncertain of what I can offer in terms of skills, knowledge and experience.

However, the process of populating my personal webpage with a portfolio of work from the last 20 years or so has made me realise that I can bring a lot to the party. This work has included publishing books, organising international craft conferences, producing films, and carrying out various types of primary and secondary research.

You can have a browse of this portfolio at https://samroberts.co.uk, and I'd love your (private) feedback on ways I can improve the content and presentation.

I am often described as 'someone you can count on' and have some lovely recommendations here on LinkedIn, including this one from Martine Flor:

"Sam is dedicated, self-motivated and a great problem solver. He’s not only a reliable forward thinking Project Manager but also an inspiring individual. As a collaborator and consultant, Sam earns my highest recommendation."

I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and for any opportunities or contacts that you can put me in touch with. Please share this post, tag connections below, and don't hesitate to get in touch via email, sam@samroberts.co.uk, or direct message on here.

All good things, Sam

    @Jamil at The Dots Thanks Jamil, I think I'm on the case with that one, although my profile completeness is still bugging out at 80% rather than the 100% which I believe I should have achieved by now.

    Hi Sam,

    I’m Jamil from The Dots! Here are my top tips to help you find work:

    1. Follow your favourite companies so you’re the first to know when they post jobs and call-outs:

    2. Build your network by connecting with people you already know, and people you want to know! (fun fact: 50-80% of jobs are filled through networking):

    Oh, and your newsfeed is the place to discover all the best opportunities to network, find work and more:

    I hope that helps!
