I was wondering if anyone knew any great websites for apply for design work on an off-site basis. I have been looking but I can't find anything on the topic at all...

It's not generally offered, or everyone would be doing it. Normally, you should look for companies looking to do short term hiring, or freelance, and offer your services that way. Any "off-site" job I've ever gotten was as a freelance designer.

only way i've seen that offered is when someone was with a company (in-house) for a long time and the company wanted to continue using their services when they moved away. but i've never seen anyone hiring that way. as nate said, "freelance" offers that possibility, but i'm not sure if that's what you were looking for.
Thanks for the replies, I was just wondering... cause I always meet these people who work from home. And I think how they landed that gig.
Thanks again,
"That gig" is usually multiple gigs, to pay the bills, and the trade off is you end up working ALL THE TIME to pay them bills. :) Don't think that working from home means you can 'choose your own schedule' -- The work dictates your schedule to a large degree.

That's right. 100% dictated by the work. Sometimes you're looking for it, worrying when you think things are slowing down; other times you're hoping to see something else other than your work monitor and the back of your lids.
ttfn!

I see. Currently I work in-house, and I have such better software at home on my iMac. Just thought it would be easier to work from home, but these guys would never sign off on that. Oh well... thanks for info guys.
Because 99% of the companies out there are worried about folks 'working' at home not getting anything done. :) As if we're getting stuff done onsite anyway!
