Hi all,<p>So this is something I've been thinking about quite a bit.<p>With clients, I usually mention a project that I've done which is similar to what they'd like to me to do (or that has used similar technologies).<p>But I'm wondering if there isn't a better way.<p>My work history is pretty sporadic. Having had many long periods of entrepreneurship as well as freelancing.<p>I also don't have any formal qualifications, though I've been programming professionally for over 10 years now.<p>For the freelancers and the recently employed on here.<p>How do you demonstrate your experience and competence as a developer?
