In my two previous posts, I talked about the items that would qualify for a reimbursement and how a freelancing professional can accurately present a record to his client.
To illustrate, let's say I was hired to write copy for a three-fold flier and I have to beat a six-week deadline. My client represents a training institute focused on equipping students with technical skills for career advancement in the workplace.
Let's say my client instructed that the institute's coordinators would like to attract more students to take up short-term courses that allow them to acquire a specialized skill. The flier would be part of their marketing strategy.
Consequently, I will be tasked to interview some of the institute's successful graduates who have since gone on and landed entry-level positions and gradually worked their way up the career ladder.
Additional tasks include writing at least four concisely written testimonials vouching for the competence of the training institute and providing figures on how a certificate can increase an employee's salary within, say, a five-year stint in a company.
I create charts using Microsoft Word. Your record of incurred expenses can look like this:
