Hello, I am a professional free-lance editor, and I was wondering
whether there is a web-site where I could advertise myself and solicit
perhaps some business.  Does such a thing exist?  Also, my girlfriend
is a momentarily unemployed high-school teacher and I was wondering
whether there is a site where she might be able to provide advice on
courses etc. for a fee.  Many thanks.

Hello Daniel7719

There are a number of places on the net that would be able to help
both you and your girlfriend.

Perhaps the two most well known and established are:

http://www.guru.com
http://www.elance.com

These two sites advertise jobs that people have open and allow you to
bid on them to get the work.  You can also use them to store details
of your work and build up an online portfolio.  I have personally used
elance.com in the past and found it to be excellent.

There are also a number of sites that would probably fit your needs
with editing jobs:

http://www.the-efa.org/index.html
http://www.journalismjobs.com/
http://www.contractedwork.com/rt.cfm?p=1&catid=17
http://www.writers-editors.com/
http://www.freelancers.net/
http://www.freelance.com
http://www.totaljobs.com/jobseekers/medianewmediacreative_new.asp
http://getafreelancer.com/projects/onsearch.php?job_21=on
http://www.mediabistro.com/joblistings/

Each of these is either an online job agency or freelance list that
allows you to apply for part-time online work.

Your girlfriend may also be suited to working as a Google Answers
researcher, she should keep an eye out to see when Google Answers
starts advertising for additional researchers.

If you have any questions regarding this please ask for clarification
and I will do my best to help you out.

Good luck finding a job!

Hi there,

You might want to try guru.com for editing projects - not so sure
about opportunities for high school teachers. Good luck!
