Freelancing has a lot more sales and personal relationships and less keyword matching.

Gig work markets such as Upwork and Fiverr target mainly the low end of the freelancing market. Companies looking for freelancers can post there too.

I have freelanced for over a decade, getting work by word of both, referrals, and through an agency. I haven’t used a resume, or been asked for one, in all that time, nor have I been matched through a web site.
