Testimonials from Freelancers-
"I am a housewife with 3 small kids. I want to enter the field of computer programming and Geeks4Free puts me in touch with companies that give me the real-life experience that I desperately need. I have already finished 2 projects and have gained a wealth of experience. I am on my way to get a paid job."

"I was an accountant for one of the Big 5 firms for 10 years. During my leisure time, I have programmed since 1984, but have never worked as a professional software developer. My Java skills were excellent, but I could not get a job as a Java programmer because I could show any "real life" experience. Using Geeks4Free's web site, I found a company that was looking to get a moderately complex database driven application developed JSP and JavaBeans. I finished the project within 3 weeks and I got excellent references from this company. Using that reference,I was able to find a job without too much hassle. On top of that, I did not have to accept any salary cut. In short, I am making the same money as a newbie Java programmer as I was as an accountant with 10 years of experience. IT is definitely the way to go."

"Geeks4Free is not for everybody. It is for people who are willing to take chances. You are basically doing work for somebody else for no money at all. Nada, zilch, nothing. What you get is a Letter of Reference if you do a good job. But, if you don't have any formal education from an expensive school or kick-ass real life experience, this is a way to get "discovered". I know I did."
LinuxKid, Oklahoma, USA

"Most of my knowledge came from the books. Reading about code in a book is one thing, actually using that knowledge to perform useful tasks is a whole another. I use the projects I get from Geeks4Free as a learning opportunity. Once I graduate from college, getting a job would not be a problem for me at all. I have a lot of friends who had difficulty getting jobs because they had no experience. Geeks4Free helps to solve this chicken-and-egg problem."

Testimonials from Companies-
"I was very pleased with the
professionalism, quick response and
laughably low cost of the programming
services that one can get on your site.
When we posted our requirements, we got
more than a dozen responses. The
programmer that we decided to work with
was located in Ukraine and he was
excellent. In the beginning, we had some
communication difficulties because of
language issues, but his output was of
extremely high quality. We have offered
him a full-time job with our firm and are
trying to get him to get him to emigrate
to America. He will be a valuable addition
to our team."

Internet integrator in Miami, Florida

"I have no hesitation in
recommending this fantastic service."
David Leibovich, Owner of a small furniture factory in Israel.

"I am thrilled. I run a chocolate store and know nothing about computers. For my business, I needed a small Visual Basic program to talk to an Access database. I "hired" a programmer on Geeks4Free and I got the job done within 48 hours. All for free! As a token of my appreciation, I sent the programmer a box of chocolates."
Paul Feller, Independent Chocolatier in California
|
"I initially thought the whole idea behind your service was a little crazy. I mean, who would trust people you have never ever met in your life? But, my experience proved otherwise. I found a Perl programmer through your service and he was great! He wrote a script that did exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again - I'm extremely happy with Geeks4Free and will use it again."
