Students That Freelance

Last week, we featured a print giveaway from the fine folks at UPrinting. With three entries, everyone had a 33.333...% chance of winning (yes, I am a math nerd). Thus, who was the lucky winner?

In this economic climate thousands of freelance students are finding it tougher than ever to land their perfect job. After studying for many years and racking up a huge debt it can be utterly demoralizing to find that once you’ve graduated from University, you’ll be fighting it out with hundreds of thousands of other qualified and eager graduates in the search for work. Law and medical graduates have it far easier than most as it is common for Law firms and Hospital boards to actively target the University campus in search for talent. For the rest of us however, if we want to survive after University in a market saturated with qualified graduates, then freelancing represents an exciting opportunity to get some experience in a specific field and yet maintain control over your own life and finances.

Today we are pleased to offer a giveaway on behalf of UPrinting to Students That Freelance readers! Here is your chance to win one set of 250 Custom Business Cards!
