Hi Gaurang, During my initial days as a German translator, I worked as a freelancer for some translation agencies whose contact information I found on the Net. While it is true that Internet is an equal opportunity employer and problems such as blindness are a nonissue, working for employers one barely knows is not easy. Freelancers are at times given absurd deadlines and are expected to meet them. Additionally, while some employers pay promptly, others don't pay at all. In the translation industry, most freelance employers (specially the ones widely found on the Internet) are extremely unreliable and are therefore rightly viewed with suspicion.
