Jennifer,

I used guru.com during grad school and while contracting. I had some 
good clients and some very strange offers (e.g., "Need 500 pages edited 
on {date} between the hours of 8am and 5pm" -- Huh?). But, overall I 
found it enlightening. My general impression is that a lot of the 
clients who go there really aren't sure what they are looking for, so 
it's difficult to match expectations with reality.

Good luck!

Arroxane

 Hello all,

 Has anyone here used Guru.com to find freelance technical writing 
work? If anyone has any experiences to share, good or bad, please let 
me know.

Thanks!
