• 3) What was your inspiration and when did you
  actually decide to become a freelancer?
• I decided to freelance because I wanted to get
  experience in working with people from different
  countries and to improve my knowledge. I am
  thinking about freelancing full time but until I
  will find a suitable project I will keep trying
  to freelance besides my usual work. I have only
  worked in companies before I started with the
  freelancing.

• 4) What kind of services have your clients asked
  you to provide?
• ABAP developments in general, technical
  specifications, debugs to help the functional
  team to find errors, definition of processes, PMO
  meetings and coordinating the ABAP team. I am
  working mainly with the modules SD, MM, WM, FICO
  and PS. And a bit with HR, PP and QM.

• 5) Do you use other freelancers or companies to
  provide skills that you dont possess?
• Not really. When I need some help I usually enter
  my questions in forums or ask my colleagues. The
  SAP world is like a family, everybody is always
  very keen to help each other out.

• 6) Now tell us, how do you find new clients that
  are interested in your services?
• I am pretty new to this world to be honest. I am
  currently only using freelancermap.com. I have
  tried LinkedIn and vacancies.com but with no
  success yet.

• 7) What about freelancermap.com? Can you tell us
  a little bit about your experience with our
  IT-network?
• I am impressed with freelancermap.com. Being
  there for two weeks, I have already had some
  responses. I am hoping it will further broaden my
  horizon.
• In my vision I think it would help if the
  projects would have a language filter which helps
  the recruiter to select which languages are
  acceptable or mandatory for the project. And If I
  don't have the language skill it wouldnt even
  show up in my search list.

• 8) How do you set yourself apart from your
  competitors? What makes you special?
• I am very reliable, hands on and I learn things
  very quickly. My profile shows that I am an ABAP
  developer with other skills too such as html, php
  java and even graphical knowledge. It shows that
  I am not just stuck with ABAP. And I also have
  management skills and I am able to manage my own
  activities without supervision.

  magazines you read to stay up to date in the
  IT-market?
• Olhar digital (a Brazilian blog)
• ABAP zombies
• SAP sdn

• 10) Freestyle! Is there anything you would like
  to tell our readers?
• To be a freelancer means you don't have to waste
  any time going to work and back every day.
  However it comes with a lot more
  responsibilities. You must be able to manage your
  own activities without losing the attention to
  TV, radio, social media or friends that would
  come to visit you in the middle of the day. It is
  needed to focus on work as if you were at a
  company and you have to be able to deliver the
  job as quickly as possible. It can be very comfy
  but also very tricky to be a freelancer...
