This is right up my alley!
I have been a Windows Server guy for almost 25 years.
You say trust has to be a big issue... where's this other guy from the Ukraine been for the past two years? Look at his profile, there's a huge gap... prison? He looks like killer...
I jest (kind of.) Maybe the military. :)
Your proposal is fairly straightforward.
I base my bid on the following:
· your server needs some cleanup (pretty ambiguous statement. I'm assuming you've got years of bloat and creep on the server and you don't know where everything is. For this, I'll inventory your server and give you a report of what space is being used where. Whether it's a file server, web server or otherwise, this information is invaluable.)
· you need forum software loaded (another ambiguous statement - but I can understand the reasons. What type of forum software, and to what degree of "get it running" are you talking about? Just up so that everything works and you take it from there, or is populating the forums part of the task?)
I'm assuming $16.67/hour for 20 hours. Freelancer gets a cut leaving me $15/hr. I'll take a couple hours for inventory, a few for cleanup, and a few for forum deployment.
It's possible that this may be completed early or may take longer depending upon the specifics of your case.
I thank you for taking a moment to consider hiring me for your task. I am confident that if I am awarded this task, I will meet or exceed your expectations.
Regards,
