I know how to program codes using c# and c#.net. I know how to program both in console and in forms. I even know how basics of database. Unluckily, I am not a graduate and has no experience yet. So where could I find one?

The terms and conditions are too long. May I just ask you what the requirements are and what are the things that I need to download? Thanks

Hi there. You can try using freelancer.com - it's really the easiest site to get into, especially if you use Paypal. It works even though you haven't graduated. I'm a college student myself. Guru.com, Odesk, and Elance are also very legitimate and reliable sites, but they're quite demanding for me. Some of these also require Escrow instead of Paypal. I'm currently working on getting a medical research project. Goodluck with your venture!

You can apply to freelancer.com or forums like digitalpoint. This will help to enhance experience and add something to your resume. You need to bid for projects. As you're new, you can start with small projects before gradually move to bigger ones. But you need to be extra careful as some would scam you by not paying for your hard work. Ask for payment first, at least by half of it, then give them the completed tasks. Good luck!

Not freelancer.com because it ask for money to get a job.Minimum 5$or 10% per project if you don't have one the it will not give you work.Ya I know it saying that sign up is free but after sign up you can also bid that's all.If you don't have money in your account then you cannot get job..................so I preffered not the freelancer............
