- Hi François ! - Hi Clément !
- How are you ? - I'm fine and you ?
- I'm good.
So tell me what's today planning ?
- So today's planning was waking up about 1 hour ago
- Ok that's failed!
- I'm going to work
This will take a big part of the day
and this evening we are going to do some sport.
- Ok nice ! Is it your work far away ?
- Not at all, it's 10 min away from here by scooter.
- Ten minutes by Scooter. - In ten minutes, everything can happen but...
There's not a lot of traffic
- Ok it's cool, let's go then !
- Here we go!
- And so what task do you have for today ?
- Just wait. I wrote them down yesterday. I'm going to tell you.
Go to the hairdresser!
- How long have you been freelance for?
- I had my professionnal number in December 2009
In august a friend of mine told me : "I'm in India
and if you want I can give you a project I can't deal with
so that you can start over your activity."
The price rate was low
but it was a good opportunity to try out.
Because I had no experience in finding customers
It's the part of the job I ignored
When I first arrived here in internship
I started working with ThinkDRY
I managed the Indian subsidiary from scratch
At first there were no other employees
but I had todo everything, accountancy
administrative parts, management
as it was a small structure, there was not much to do
And that was going good. On the contrary
finding customers...
was not my job so it was scaring me.
But in the end, it's not that complicated.
- Just to know. Where are we going to eat ?
- On the terrace. - The terrace ?
-On the top!
- So what is the menu?
- It's biryani ! Indian traditional meal.
- Biryani. What is it made of?
- Rice, chicken and a lot of spicies
This is for you. - Thanks!
- I wanted to ask about lunch
We came back. What time was it when we went for lunch?
- 1:30 p.m.
- We ate and came back here around 2:10,2:15 p.m 51 00:03:28,01 --> 00:03:30,01 -Yes, we had a 40 minute break.
and this was a nice break because it's biryani wednesday...
- And what was the most difficult thing to deal with
working with remote customers?
- It's communication
you have to keep it clear
but it has never been a real problem.
It's to make them trust me!
When I started, I had no references at all
"You're 8000 km away from here, You have not done anything.
Why would I trust you ?
- And what tools do you use daily to work remotely?
- Skype! - Skype?
It's the easiest?
Maybe emails I guess.
- Skype, mails. But it depends on the customer
on what he needs.
like bugtrackers on application.
When you're freelance.
you realize that you have to work
- You don't have other choice. - In France...
Well I have friend taking it easy but...
I had a local contract job here for 6 month
I was going to work at 9:00 a.m.
Leaving at 7:30 p.m.
It was 10 hours a day at work
a half hour break for lunch
6 days a week !
- 6 days ?!!!
- It's almost 60 hours a week.
and 60 hardcore hours!
I had to do it but 60 hours is quite a lot.
- To finish, until when are we here? what's the afternoon planning?
- we're going to sport at 7:30 p.m.
We'll leave at 6:30 p.m.
- So the day is over!
- Yeah!
