Hello,

I am currently working as a freelance designer finding all my work of a site called people per hour.

My question is, what websites do you guys get work from ?

Thanks

The best website I've found is called FlexJobs.com. It's a paid subscription, but I've already gotten three hits and I'm starting soon as a Search Engine Evaluator (freelance, part time). I recommend that site!

how long it took you to find a job? I'm planning on signing up

It took me (perhaps) two weeks. Depending on your skillset, I highly recommend the site for software development. It doesn't seem as friendly for entry-level applicants, but I suspect with some background (something to show i.e. portfolio of projects or Github) you'd have no problem at least interviewing for several positions.

I've interviewed for three.

oDesk is decent, but pay starts low. Nice thing is sign-up is free.
