I've never had a problem with freelance work on my resume. If nothing else, it's helped me get day jobs; employers / recruiters have usually been more interested in work I've done on the side, then at a 9-5.

It's helped me so much, I've now broken it out into it's own section on my resume in a resume re-write this week (it was getting a little "feature creep")

Was there a particular type of company that you were applying to? Was your freelancing work on the front- or back-end?
I've worked for small mom and pop shops to national banks to everything in between - and my freelance is full stack (back, front, + server)

Everyone appreciated the time spent outside of the day job and most always found those projects more interesting then what I was hired to do - as they usually are - corporate work can be boring most of the time; freelance is where i can "show off"
