Freelancer applications differ fundamentally: Instead of a CV, prepare a portfolio with project references (3-5 concrete cases with outcomes). Communicate your daily rate clearly and be able to justify it. Clarify availability and project duration. The most important channels in Germany: GULP, freelance.de, Upwork for international projects, and direct networking. A Xing profile with 'Freelancer' status and a clear skills profile is essential.
