Russian cash economy provides an ideal environment for freelance job. Local markets across the country have openings for industrious foreign freelancers. And thanks to new trends in global business, opportunities for freelance jobs in Russia are no longer limited to dealing with local clients.
Local Opportunities
The low cost of skilled Russian labor makes it is a challenge to find areas where the expense of hiring a foreigner can be justified. Most opportunities involve languages and culture.
Services outsourcing is an expanding global market, and Russia is a major contender in this software field. Offshore software development companies require their staff to be fluent in English and other languages.
Russian standards of customer service are very different from those expected in the West. Telephone manners are discourteously abrupt; information is rarely volunteered; and it is common to be cut off without warning after making an enquiry that the telephonist cannot deal with.
Such issues are common to all businesses with foreign clients. There is considerable potential for freelancers to provide training in Western-style business practices.
