Work Experience in Application as a Freelancer

[vivek57]

Hello guys, so in past 5 years I have always worked as freelancer working from home. Disregarding the small clients, I have worked for 2 big clients so I was thinking to just mentioned those 2.

The first one I have worked for 3 years straight. I was on fixed monthly pay with him and required 40 hrs per week to work.

The second one is 2+ ongoing. The pay is hourly and requires 20-30 hrs per week.

I have experience letters from both of them. Now my question, do I mention both of them as self-employed? do I mention only the 2nd one as self employed? And besides the letter what else should i provide for proof in such case.

Thank You
Vivek

There are specific document requirement for self employed

• if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).

Hi, ty for response, but I am not sure if i should classify them as self employed/freelancer, I imagine the 2nd one would be that, but since first one was like a fixed salary shall I mention it as self employed or job.

yes 40 hours a week minimum

yes 40 hours a week minimum

there are remote jobs available but would that person give you a declaration you were their employee? That's the thing because if that's how you were you can't consider it self employed.
